We are pleased to announce that Corey Siegel, MD, MS, has been named the Inaugural Director of the Center for Digestive Health at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center.
The Center for Digestive Health is the only multidisciplinary clinic of its kind in New England where comprehensive digestive health services including Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Weight and Wellness and Digestive Surgery, are available under a single clinical umbrella, creating a seamless patient experience.
In addition to this expanded leadership role, Dr. Siegel is the current section chief for Gastroenterology and Hepatology and the Co-Director of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center at DHMC. He is the Constantine and Joyce Hampers Professor of Medicine and Professor of The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth.
We are also very excited to announce that earlier today, Corey was awarded the prestigious Sherman Prize. The prize is awarded to IBD clinicians, surgeons, researchers and/or academics with extraordinary track records of achievement, making exceptional and pioneering contributions that transform IBD care. There are just two awards give nationally each year.
Corey has focused his career on improving the digestive health of patients in our region and beyond through clinical care, research and quality improvement. He received his medical degree from Tufts University School of Medicine and completed his residency in internal medicine at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center where he also served as chief medical resident. He then completed a fellowship in Gastroenterology at Dartmouth Hitchcock followed by a fellowship in Inflammatory Bowel Disease at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
We hope you will welcome Corey to his new role and congratulate him on receiving this year’s Sherman Prize.
