Description:The rotation in Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition provides broad exposure to specialized and common pediatric gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary problems. Division patients are seen in the outpatient suites, in the procedure room, and in the inpatient floors at St Louis Children's Hospital and satellite locations. Students evaluate outpatients with common pediatric complaints like abdominal pain, constipation, and poor growth.

Additionally, students experience the ongoing outpatient care of patients with liver disease, inflammatory bowel disease, short-gut syndrome, celiac disease, eosinophilic esophagitis, and other rare disorders. The inpatient service provides experience in caring for patients with acute illnesses such as gastrointestinal bleeding, malnutrition, liver failure, complications of inflammatory bowel disease, and pancreatitis. Students participate in diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures. Students may participate in a weekly GI didactic conference, GI/Surgery conference, and/or GI/Pathology conference.

Student time distribution: The time spent in the outpatient clinic and on the inpatient service can be individualized according to the student's interests. In general, the distribution is: Inpatient 45%; Outpatient 45%; Conferences/Lectures 10%; Subspecialty Care 50%

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
