Visiting Scholars Program
The Visiting Scholars Program provides an opportunity for scholars and faculty from other institutions to visit the Center for a short stay of a couple of days or several weeks. By hosting visitors from around the United States and the world, the Center benefits from a unique opportunity to share and exchange ideas on treatments for IBS patients, confer on research studies, and build collaboration networks for future projects.
For the duration of their stay at the Center, visiting scholars have access to expert psychologists, gastroenterologists and physiologists, providing a wide variety of opportunities to learn vital skills and techniques in the treatment and research of functional GI and motility disorders. Visiting scholars also have the chance to observe patient care, participate in research meetings and teaching conferences (CME), and expand their training experience by meeting with other faculty within the UNC Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology.
Visiting scholars are expected to lecture or make presentations during their visit and, in this way, to bring new skills and knowledge to the Center's resident clinicians and investigators. Their visits are noted in the Center's quarterly newsletter, Digest. Some scholars have visited the Center on several occasions.
