Dr. Fred Karaisz joins the Department of Medicine

Fred Karaisz, MD

Dr. Fred Karaisz joined the Department of Medicine in the Division of Gastroenterology as an Instructor in July. In residency, he loved teaching medical students and residents, particularly in bedside procedures, including lines, lumbar punctures, and paracenteses. These experiences translated well in gastroenterology, where he discovered my passion for therapeutic endoscopy. He hopes to work in academia as a clinician educator and clinical researcher. His key interests are therapeutic EUS, Endobariatrics, Pancreatology, and Medical Education.
