The residents also have the opportunity to watch a variety of procedures during the rotation and have an understanding of the indication of them all — the gastroenterology elective is one of the more popular electives of the Departments. The Division has closely mentored and supervised residents who have chosen to pursue a career in Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition.
