Career Opportunities / Information

There has been much change recently in the training grades, but individuals seeking to train in gastroenterology are still required to spend 2-3 years in medical specialties at SHO level before entering specialist training. The previously known medical SHO training is now called Core Medical Training.  Most trainees in Gastroenterology are expected to train also in Acute or General Internal Medicine and have dual accreditation at the end of their training.
A Curriculum for Gastroenterology was introduced in 2007. Training will concurrently take place according to the Acute Medicine curriculum and the Generic Curriculum
