Course Description:

Gastroenterology is a branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the digestive system. This system includes the esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, small and large intestines, as well as the rectum and bile ducts.

Functions such as food digestion, nutrient absorption, and waste elimination all rely on the proper functioning of the digestive system. Digestive issues like indigestion and acid reflux are increasingly common, with conditions such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) becoming more prevalent. Early identification and timely intervention are essential, and trained gastroenterologists play a critical role in improving patients’ quality of life.

A Fellowship in Gastroenterology after MBBS offers in-depth understanding of the complexities of the digestive tract, including chronic diseases and gastrointestinal cancers. It also provides practical experience in both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, bridging medical and surgical aspects of care.
