This fellowship provides exposure to the breadth and depth of topics to increase clinical expertise in Neurogastroenterology and Motility. Topics pertaining to etiology and pathogenesis will be taught in the context of clinical care/cases, as well as in the context of other regular educational activity, e.g. GI Motility Rounds, journal clubs, etc. Areas related to clinical care, such as pathology and radiology, that pertain directly to the management of patients with gastrointestinal diseases, will be incorporated.
Particulars of diagnosis, such as GI motility diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, and management issues such as pharmacotherapies, endoscopic intervention and decisions relating to surgery will be conveyed in the routine course of managing both inpatients and outpatients. There is a core reading curriculum, which consists of the seminal papers in GI motility and functional diseases. Finally, the motility fellow will also be involved in performing and interpreting GI motility testings and learning areas of diagnosis and management pertaining to GI motility and functional bowel diseases.
