Gastroenterology

Gastroenterology requires a detailed understanding of the physiology of gastrointestinal organs. The core responsibilities of a gastroenterologist include:

  • Assessment of how the body absorbs and digests nutrients and removes waste from the system
  • Evaluation of the function of the liver during the digestive process
  • Interpretation of gut motility (movement of material through the stomach and intestine)
