Gastroenterology is a branch of medicine concerned with digestive diseases. The practice of gastroenterology concentrates on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases involving the esophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine (colon), liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. This medical field is really a subspecialty of Internal Medicine, as is, for example, Cardiology, which deals with diseases of the heart.

Gastroenterology: The medical specialty devoted to the study, diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the digestive system. These disorders may affect the esophagus (swallowing tube), stomach, small intestine, large intestine (colon), rectum, liver, gallbladder, or pancreas.

Gastroenterology is popularly (and incorrectly) known as "GI" (which stands for Gastrointestinal).

Job Prospects:

Gastroenterologists job include evaluation, diagnosis, management, and treatment of the diseases related to digestive system. They assess a patient’s symptoms and perform a variety of diagnostic tests such as colonoscopy and endoscopy. Gastroenterologists frequently work alongside other physicians, and may even have their own team of doctors and nurses to provide assistance. This specialty is broadly divided into two aspects: medical and surgical. Medical gastroenterology largely involves the diagnosis and management of patients using medicine and minimally invasive interventions. Surgical gastroenterology is split into three specialties: the upper gastrointestinal tract, the lower GI tract and the liver, bile ducts and pancreas. Pediatric gastroenterology is a specialization that can be pursued by pediatricians, or gastroenterologists to become an expert in treating gastrointestinal issues of children.

Gastroenterologists have ample opportunities in private as well as government hospitals, group medical practice or health care network. Due to the large influx of patients with gastroenterological issues, multi-specialty health care centers are trying to have gastroenterologists on their rolls either as full-time or visiting physician consultants. They are employed in medical research institutes and medical colleges/schools as faculty members. More over enterprising Gastroenterologists can also open their own Gastro Clinic.
