Description
The course will acquaint students with the major problems in gastrointestinal and liver disease and familiarize them with approaches and techniques involved in diagnosis and treatment. The students will spend two weeks with three fellows and an attending physician on the inpatient general gastroenterology service, and two weeks with one fellow and an attending physician on the inpatient hepatology service. The students can expect to see 1-2 new consults each day with oversight and teaching by a clinical fellow and the GI attending physician. The students will be involved in all aspects of assessment and treatment for their patients, including observation of any endoscopic procedures performed on their patients. In order to gain maximum exposure to all facets of gastrointestinal disease, students will participate in all clinical and education activities available to the GI fellows, including patient rounds, consultations, GI Grand Rounds, journal club, research and clinical seminars, and didactic and case-based teaching conferences. During the course of the rotation, students may be asked to present a brief talk on a GI topic of his/her choosing. There is no call.
