University Gastroenterology (UGI) announced that Elizabeth Decker, DO has joined the practice. Dr. Decker is fellowship-trained in gastroenterology and board-certified in internal medicine. In joining UGI, Dr. Decker will contribute to the group’s mission to provide cutting-edge care to their community of patients.
Dr. Decker received her undergraduate degree from the University of Rhode Island, before earning her medical degree from the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2011. She trained in Internal Medicine at St. Petersburg General Hospital and Sacred Heart Hospital in Florida, then returned to Rhode Island to pursue her specialty training in Gastroenterology at Kent Hospital. "Coming back to Rhode Island has always been a long-term goal for me. I still have a lot of extended family and friends here, so it was important to have the support system in place. I feel that University Gastroenterology adopts the same philosophy. They are invested professionally as well as personally in ensuring that there is a supportive working environment,” said Decker.
