Thomas Runge, M.D., M.P.H.
I am an Advanced and Therapeutic Endoscopy Fellow at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, MD. I completed medical school, obtaining an MPH degree along with my MD degree, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This was followed by internal medicine residency at Emory University in Atlanta, GA, and Gastroenterology and Hepatology fellowship at UNC-Chapel Hill. I am interested in all aspects of therapeutic endoscopy including ERCP, diagnostic and therapeutic EUS, endoscopic mucosal resection, full-thickness tissue resection, and enteral stenting. I have a special interest in endoscopic suturing and bariatric endoscopy, and submucosal endoscopy including per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) and endoscopic tunneling to facilitate cricopharyngeal myotomy for Zenker's Diverticula (Z-POEM) and am currently being trained in these techniques as part of my therapeutic fellowship.
