PROVIDENCE – University Medicine, a nonprofit primary care, specialty outpatient and subspecialty medical group practice with more than 200 physicians and more than 20 patient care locations across the state, named Dr. Sarah M. Hyder as director of endoscopic ultrasound.
Hyder will lead the use of endoscopic ultrasound equipment to detect and treat digestive tract cancers for University Medicine patients; her specialty includes conducting therapeutic biliary endoscopic procedures such as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, or ERCP. University Medicine is one of two locations in the state of Rhode Island to offer endoscopic ultrasound technology, which is less invasive in assessing the internal organs of the chest, abdomen and colon.
Hyder, an assistant professor of medicine at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, is board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine. A chief gastroenterology fellow at Brown’s Alpert school, she recently completed an interventional endoscopy fellowship at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H., where she was also an instructor of medicine.
