Why did you choose to specialize in Gastroenterology?

Gastroenterology is an all-encompassing and diverse field with an opportunity to manage the care of patients with – acute or chronic illness, young or elderly, inpatient or outpatient, procedural interventions, curative and preventative medicine.
Being a gastroenterologist allows for constant interaction with other healthcare professionals as part of a multidisciplinary team.
