Clinical Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases
Sponsor: Gerard E. Mullin, MD

This elective offers an opportunity for students to fully participate in an active Gastroenterology service. Under the supervision of the full-time attending staff, fellows and residents, the student will function as an integral part of the consultative team. This includes participation in daily work rounds and clinical conferences in gastroenterology and liver diseases. The student will be introduced to various topics, including gastrointestinal neoplasia, inflammatory bowel disease, the work up and management of liver diseases and nutritional disorders. An opportunity to observe all endoscopic procedures and participate in the performance of flexible sigmoidoscopy will be provided. A variety of ongoing clinical research projects is available for student participation during the time of the elective. In addition, special arrangements will be considered to continue this involvement on a part-time basis when the elective is completed.
