The holistic nature of gastroenterology appealed to me over other procedural specialties, and since I started it has only grown in scope and relevance. It is the perfect mix of intellectual stimulation and practical activity. Within gastroenterology there are many varied subspecialties, so there is something for everyone.
I appreciate being able to help people and improve their quality of life, often with quite simple interventions. I have never regretted choosing gastroenterology over other career paths, and would do the same again.

Gastroenterologist
Gastroenterologists work within both public and private facilities to provide high quality, comprehensive care for their patients. Many Gastroenterologists additionally work within academic settings, performing the bulk of research into gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures, as well as the interpretation of results. Because of this, Gastroenterologists are often required to provide consultant services to other physicians and surgeons who perform these procedures.
