AMINE HILA, M.D., was recently appointed to the new position of VP for digestive services at UHS. Dr. Hila has been a member of the UHS medical staff since 2006 and has served since that time as a provider with UHS Gastroenterology. He brings to his new role an “exceptional background” in clinical knowledge and team building, and a deep appreciation for the patient-centered values of UHS, the health system said. Hila will serve in a key position for the ongoing management and strengthening of UHS’ services in the diagnosis and treatment of digestive diseases, one of the organization’s most important service lines. He has led UHS’s Graduate Medical Education (GME) since 2013. Hila significantly contributed to the growth of the GME, including the addition of cardiology and gastroenterology fellowship programs, and is committed to the ongoing improvement in the quality of UHS residency programs. Hila was born in Italy and grew up in the nearby Mediterranean country of Tunisia. He earned his medical degree in 1998 from the Faculté de Médecine de Tunis. Hila then completed an internal-medicine internship and residency in 2002 at the Graduate Hospital in Philadelphia and a clinical and research gastroenterology and hepatology fellowship in 2006 at the Medical University of South Carolina.
