Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the digestive system and its disorders. This includes everything from the esophagus and stomach to the small and large intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. Gastroenterologists are specialists in the field who diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions and diseases related to the digestive system.
To become a gastroenterologist, one must first complete a four-year undergraduate degree in a science-related field, followed by four years of medical school. After medical school, aspiring gastroenterologists must complete a three-year residency in internal medicine, followed by a three-year fellowship in gastroenterology.
During their fellowship, gastroenterologists receive specialized training in the diagnosis and treatment of digestive disorders, including the use of endoscopy and other procedures. They also learn how to interpret diagnostic tests, manage patient care, and work collaboratively with other healthcare providers to develop treatment plans.
Gastroenterologists diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions and diseases related to the digestive system. Some of the most common conditions that gastroenterologists treat include:
