Interventional Radiology
Elective rotations in interventional radiology give students the opportunity to learn about minimally invasive image-guided procedures used in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. Students work alongside interventional radiologists, gaining experience in procedures such as transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and percutaneous gastrostomy tube placement.
Nutrition and Gastroenterology
Elective rotations focused on nutrition and gastroenterology provide students with a deeper understanding of the role of diet and nutrition in the management of gastrointestinal diseases. Students work with registered dietitians and gastroenterologists to develop personalized nutrition plans for patients with conditions such as celiac disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and malnutrition.
Alumni Success Stories: Inspiring Career Pathways
The University of Chicago’s GI program has a rich history of producing successful alumni who have made significant contributions to the field of gastrointestinal medicine. These alumni serve as a source of inspiration for current and prospective students, showcasing the diverse career pathways available in gastroenterology.
