Specialization in pediatric gastroenterology took place at Baylor College of Medicine's, Texas Children's Hospital, one of the highest ranked and largest children's hospitals in the nation.
During his fellowship program at Baylor College of Medicine, he was awarded the competitive National Institutes of Health's Gastroenterology Research Training Grant. While there, he worked diligently on his research and was an author in 4 peer reviewed journal articles and 5 abstracts based on this fellowship research.
