Gastroenterology is a multidisciplinary field that involves collaboration among physicians, AYUSH practitioners, and other allied healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care. Hospital admissions for gastrointestinal disorders, including day-case investigations, are as frequent as respiratory illnesses and only second to circulatory disorders.
Since gastroenterology is largely focused on managing chronic diseases, the involvement of AYUSH practitioners who integrate conventional medicine into their practice is crucial for effective patient care.
The Advanced Certificate in Gastroenterology Essentials caters to practitioners like you who frequently encounter patients with gastrointestinal and liver-related complaints.
The program is a compilation of two specialist courses, namely:
- Certificate Course in Gastroenterology

The course will provide you with a deeper understanding of the essential concepts and practices in gastroenterology. You will learn about the diagnosis, treatment, and management of various gastrointestinal diseases and disorders, which can be beneficial if you are interested in pursuing a career in this field.
The Advanced Certificate in Gastroenterology Essentials course has a blended learning approach that includes various components such as case presentations, lectures, and interactive elements.
