Hoag's Advanced Endoscopy Fellowship is a major step forward in shaping the future of digestive care. The program is made possible through the James & Pamela Muzzy Executive Medical Director Endowed Chair in GI Cancer, Digestive Health Institute, held by Kenneth J. Chang, MD. An internationally recognized physician, researcher, and inventor, Dr. Chang brings decades of leadership in advanced endoscopic techniques, with more than 50 fellows trained and over 480 publications to his name. At Hoag, he is building on that legacy to train the next generation of GI leaders. The new fellowship offers intensive, hands-on training in advanced diagnostic and interventional endoscopy, helping Hoag expand access to innovative care. 

For Dr. Avni Jain, Hoag’s fellowship has become more than advanced training—it’s where mentorship and long-term growth align. Led by Dr. Chang and Program Director Dr. Jennifer Phan, fellows like her gain far more than scope time. They are empowered to lead, supported to thrive, and encouraged to explore their full career potential in the highly specialized field of gastroenterology. What sets this program apart is its access to an incredibly approachable faculty, a high volume of complex cases, and a culture that fosters curiosity, collaboration, and confidence.
