Dr. Robert G. Gish began his medical training in 1974 when he was enrolled into the Pharmacy School at the University of Kansas. He transferred to the University of Kansas Medical School in 1977 and finished his MD degree in 1980. Dr. Gish went on to complete a three year Internal Medicine residency at the University of California, San Diego and a four year Gastroenterology and Hepatology fellowship at the University of California Los Angeles during which time he was awarded the NIH Physician Scientist Award to study calcium signaling in liver cells. After completing his training, Dr. Gish moved to San Francisco and took a position at the California Pacific Medical Center (formerly known as Pacific Presbyterian Hospital, Presbyterian, Stanford Hospital, and Cooper-Lane). He became the Co-Medical Director of the Liver Transplant Program in 1988 and then the Medical Director of the Liver Transplant Program in 1994. In that role he developed an outreach program that built 15 clinics that eventually served over 35,000 patients in the Northern California and Nevada regions, and made the CPMC a leading liver transplant center in the nation for both volume and quality. Dr. Gish has had and continues to have an active research program in viral hepatitis (HBV, HCV, HDV and HEV) liver transplant, bioartificial liver, and public policy especially related to liver cancer, liver transplantation and viral hepatitis. Although his primary research focus is clinical research, he frequently collaborates with basic scientists in his research activities. He has published more than 700 original articles, review articles, abstracts and book chapters with a Google Scholar score of over 70. Dr. Gish is also actively involved in numerous professional societies, and is a long-term member of the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease (Fellow), European Association for the Study of Liver Disease, Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver, and the American Society of Transplant Physicians. He is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians, the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease (as part of the first group to enter the AASLD fellow program 2014) and is now a fellow the American Society of Transplantation. Dr. Gish has served on the editorial boards of American Journal of Gastroenterology, Journal of Hepatology, Digestive Diseases and Sciences, Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Liver Transplantation, and Journal of Viral Hepatitis. He has co-authored a public health policy for liver health in Vietnam and is also assisting with the development of health care policies in Armenia and the Philippines. In December 2010, Dr. Gish moved to San Diego to join the faculty of UCSD as a Clinical Professor of Medicine, Section Chief of Hepatology, and Director of the Center of Excellence for Hepatobiliary Disease and Abdominal Transplantation (C.H.A.T.). In September of 2013, Dr. Gish left UCSD to form a consulting company, Robert G. Gish Consultants LLC to provide consultative support to Hepatology Centers and Liver Transplant Programs who wish to start or grow their programs through pathways of quality and optimal patient care that is integrated with research and education. In September of 2013, Dr. Gish joined Dr. Manch at St. Josephs Hospital and Medical Center to start a liver and liver transplant center which continued through 2015. On April 1, 2014, Dr. Gish joined the Stanford University Department of Medicine, Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, and Liver Transplant Service Line as a Staff Physician with major roles in inreach and outreach as well as program development until June 2019. From 2012 to the present, Dr. Gish has been very active with the National Viral Hepatitis Round Table (NVHR)[Executive and Steering Committees] a patient and community advocacy non-profit organization.
