New Graduate GI Resources

[marrbarr10]

Curious if anyone had recommendations for useful gastroenterology books, as I will begin working in an inpatient & outpatient setting in 2 weeks. I would like to study the "basics" so the practice doesn't instantly regret hiring me ;) Any recommendations (or even advice) is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

 

(P.S. -- yes, I did see that the same question was posted in 2011. Though, would like to see if people have different ideas 7 years later!)

Hi, welcome to GI. A lot of the learning happens on the job so you'll probably be fine without having to read a ton.

The Mayo Clinic Gastroenterology and Hepatology Board Review book was helpful and gives you basic information for general GI/liver diseases.

I would also encourage going through official clinical guidelines from ACG because it tells you exactly what you need to know for practice. Key things are pancreatitis, GI bleeding, IBD, IB/functional, and CRC.

Hi there,

Thank you kindly for taking the time to respond! I appreciate the book recommendation & link! Will definitely have to check out.

For others reading- the clinicians I work with recommended Primo Gastro as well. It's fairly straightforward.

Thanks!
