Our People

A strong multi-disciplinary team

The Division of Digestive Care and Endoscopy is home to gastroenterologists - all of which have academic appointments with Dalhousie University.

Division faculty members devote much of their time to clinical duties that serve the division’s vital role as a regional referral and care service for gastrointestinal and liver diseases. We also dedicate 25 per cent of our faculty time to conducting research and providing education.
