Gastrotraining

We are pleased to announce the launch of www.gastrotraining.com.
Gastrotraining is an educational portal that aims to use innovations in technology to streamline the process of learning. We encourage our users to contribute as we feel that each of us has a role to play in training, education and thus improving GI services and health, not only in our hospitals, but globally.

We as trainees felt that there were fundamental deficiencies, discrepancies and variability in our training. We found no website dedicated to gastroenterologists training requirements. This resource is an attempt to address these lacunae by providing the core knowledge in an easily assimilable manner.  
The portal aims to provide:
1. Step by step guide to most of the commonly done endoscopic procedures.
2. Images and videos to enhance learning
3. Coverage of the core curriculum of  Gastroenterology and Hepatology.
3. Knowledge is presented in a practical way and distilled manner in Socrates style with evidence base.
4. Interactive learning-there is an option to exchange ideas and experiences or to clarify doubts on every topic.
5. Gastro Calculators
6. A dynamic and interactive medium to keep pace with the rapidity of changes in the medical sciences.
The portal is free to use and is aimed at gastroenterology professionals. We hope that the portal will help  fulfil gastroenterology training requirements and also forms part of continuing professional development for specialists.
