Why choose Gastroenterology as a career?

The role of a gastroenterologist is highly varied and this is owed to the fact that the specialty deals with a variety of organs. It involves the GI tract from the mouth to rectum as well as the hepatobiliary system. This variety means that you encounter a diverse patient demographic in your daily working schedule.

Given the complexity of cases there is a huge focus on drawing in quality and experience from the multidisciplinary team and gastroenterologists work closely with, surgeons, histopatholgists, radiologists, pharmacists as well as specialist nurses.

Endoscopy is a significant component of gastroenterology and introduces a practical therapeutic and diagnostic element to the specialty.

Furthermore as gastroenterology is an ever advancing specialty and you will certainly encounter developments in the field that will continue to develop and shape your clinical practice in the future.

  • Ward rounds
  • Clinics
  • Endoscopy
  • MDT meetings
  • X-ray meetings
