The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education names director of Gastroenterology Fellowship
The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education recently named Dr. Vikas Khurana the director of the Gastroenterology Fellowship.
A graduate of the University of Delhi’s Maulana Azad Medical College in India, he completed his residency in internal medicine at State University of New York Health Science Center in Brooklyn, New York, and a fellowship in gastroenterology at the University of Miami School of Medicine in Miami, Florida.
Khurana also holds an MBA from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School and served as an associate professor of medicine at Temple University.
The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education offers fellowships in cardiovascular disease, geriatrics and gastroenterology. The gastroenterology fellowship enhances the care of patients in Northeast Pennsylvania who have gastrointestinal disorders, as well as strengthens the local health care workforce in the specialty field. Over the course of three years, fellows gain valuable experience in inpatient and outpatient gastroenterology and hepatology, including the mastery of procedural skills. Fellows, under the guidance of the program director, are immersed in the community through The Wright Center for Community Health’s eight regional practices that serve Lackawanna, Luzerne, Susquehanna, Wayne and Wyoming counties.
