Overview

It is with great pleasure and excitement that we welcome Dr Natalie Cosgrove at Center for Interventional Endoscopy (CIE) AdventHealth, Orlando. Dr Cosgrove joins us from Washington University of St. Louis, where she was an Assistant Professor of Medicine and an interventional endoscopist. At Wash U she served as a co-chair of GI clinical conferences and acted as GI representative and steering leadership member of the hospital wide peri-procedural safety committee and lead a GI subspecialty peri-procedural team for over 3 years. While in this role, she helped to develop and implement a uniform process of comprehensive peri-procedural patient assessment and optimization across several hospitals.

Dr. Cosgrove earned her medical degree from Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and completed an internal medicine residency at the University of Virginia. She then went on to complete a gastroenterology fellowship at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and an advanced endoscopy fellowship at Washington University in St. Louis.

Dr. Cosgrove is actively engaged in several professional societies, including the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE), American Gastroenterological Association (AGA), and American College of Gastroenterology (ACG). She completed the ASGE Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) program which offers women gastroenterologists the opportunity to enhance their leadership skills. She has been a member of the ASGE Training committee, Health and Public Policy Committee, Standards of Practice Committee, and the AGA Quality Leadership Council.

Dr Cosgrove is passionate about patient care, clinical research, teaching, and patient safety and quality improvement, and has authored many manuscripts in well reputed GI journals. Her clinical interests include interventional endoscopy, complex pancreaticobiliary diseases, pancreatic fluid collections, endo-hepatology, and patient safety and quality improvement. She was the first physician in the state of Missouri to perform EUS-guided portal pressure measurement. She is interested in the role that endo-hepatology can play in optimizing the efficiency and efficacy of care for patients with complex liver disease in a multidisciplinary fashion.

We are thrilled and grateful that she is joining CIE and AdventHealth family where she will serve as Medical Director of Quality and safety in endoscopy and gastroenterology.
