FELLOWSHIP IN GASTROENTEROLOGY
Overview:
The Fellowship in Gastroenterology is an advanced and specialized program designed for healthcare professionals, particularly gastroenterologists, internists, and physicians, aiming to develop expertise in the field of gastrointestinal health.
Gastroenterology fellowship covers a wide spectrum of topics, including the diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal disorders, liver diseases, inflammatory bowel diseases, and advanced endoscopic procedures. Participants will gain in-depth knowledge of the digestive system, its disorders, and the latest advancements in the field.
Through a combination of hybrid mode(learning), clinical experience, and virtual classes, participants will develop the skills and expertise required to provide high-quality care to patients with a wide range of gastrointestinal conditions. The program equips healthcare professionals with the knowledge to make precise diagnoses, develop effective treatment plans, and contribute to the continued advancement of gastroenterology, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes.

COURSE MODULES
- Gastrointestinal tract and liver
This module provides a fundamental understanding of gastroenterology by concentrating on the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the liver and gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In addition to learning about the liver’s vital function in metabolism, detoxification, and bile formation, participants will examine the complex mechanisms behind the digestive system, from the mouth cavity to the rectum. The focus will be on understanding the interactions between the liver and different parts of the GI tract, which will provide the ground for more in-depth discussion in later modules. - Bile secretion and cholestasis
The complex aspects of bile secretion and its role in metabolism and digestion will be covered by the participants. The module will cover the anatomy of the biliary system, the synthesis of bile acids, and the regulation of bile secretion. Special attention will be given to cholestasis, a condition characterized by impaired bile flow, exploring its etiology, clinical manifestations, and management strategies. Through case studies and interactive discussions in gastroenterology fellowship, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of disorders affecting bile secretion and their impact on overall health. - Dysmotility of the small intestine and colon
This module of fellowship in gastroenterology focuses on the dysmotility disorders affecting the small intestine and colon. Participants will explore the normal physiology of gastrointestinal motility and delve into conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and pseudo-obstruction. Diagnostic approaches, treatment modalities, and the latest research findings will be discussed, equipping participants with the knowledge and skills to manage patients with dysmotility disorders effectively. - Polyposis syndromes
Polyposis syndromes represent a diverse group of disorders with a predisposition to the development of multiple polyps in the GI tract. This module will cover the various types of polyposis syndromes, including familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. Participants will explore the genetic basis, clinical manifestations, and management strategies for these syndromes, with a focus on early detection and prevention of colorectal cancer. - Metabolic diseases of the liver
This module explores liver-related metabolic diseases, including alcoholic liver disease, inherited metabolic disorders, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Participants will acquire knowledge on the pathophysiology, methods of diagnosis, and treatments for these ailments. The increased prevalence of metabolic liver diseases worldwide as well as therapy and prevention techniques will be covered in this module of gastroenterology course. - Eating disorders
This Gastroenterology Fellowship module explores the interface between gastroenterology and eating disorders. Participants will examine the impact of eating disorders on the GI tract, including complications such as malnutrition, gastrointestinal motility disturbances, and liver dysfunction. The module will also address the collaborative approach needed between gastroenterologists and mental health professionals in the comprehensive care of individuals with eating disorders. Participants will gain practical skills in the assessment, diagnosis, and management of gastrointestinal complications associated with eating disorders.
