Pediatric Gastroenterology

(4 Credits)

Students are exposed to the entire range of congenital and acquired digestive disease in infants, children and young adults. The main objective of the elective rotation is to provide the student with a basic understanding of pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of common forms of GI disease in children. Students will participate in daily teaching rounds, attend pediatric GI outpatient clinics, observe procedures such as diagnostic endoscopy, pH monitoring, and hydrogen breath tests.
