About Evan L. Fogel
Dr. Evan Fogel completed much of his education at the University of Toronto where he earned his M.Sc. in pharmacology in 1987 and his M.D. in 1991. Upon graduating, he continued his medical training at the University of Toronto where he completed an internal medicine residency in 1994 and a gastroenterology fellowship in 1996. He did a third-tier, advanced fellowship in therapeutic ERCP in 1996–97 at Indiana University (IU) Medical Center. He joined the G.I. faculty the following year, and currently, he is a professor of medicine in the Department of Medicine at IU. He earned the additional, honorary title of Stuart Sherman Professor of Gastroenterology in 2021.
His patient care special interests include the prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis, and he served as senior author on the seminal study which demonstrated the beneficial effect of rectal indomethacin in high-risk patients. He is the principal investigator for the IU clinical site in three NIH-sponsored consortia. The Type 1 Diabetes in Acute Pancreatitis Consortium will conduct studies to test the hypothesis that pancreatogenic diabetes encompasses a heterogeneous combination of metabolic and potentially immunologic phenotypes that are determined by distinct underlying pathophysiologies. The SpHincterotomy for Acute Recurrent Pancreatitis (SHARP) trial aims to determine whether minor papilla sphincterotomy performed at ERCP benefits patients with recurrent acute pancreatitis and pancreas divisum. In the consortium for the study of Chronic Pancreatitis, Diabetes and Pancreatic Cancer (CPDPC), studies of risk factors, environmental influences, and proof-of-concept studies are being performed to move the field forward, particularly those factors that increase the risk of diabetes and malignancy. He is frequently called upon to present his work and speak at regional, national and international meetings.
Fogel is a member of numerous, prestigious professional organizations, including the American Gastroenterological Association, the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, and more.
