ABIM Gastroenterology Prep Course (GI)

What you will learn

• By the end of this course, learners will be able to:
• Explain the exam scope and major content domains for the ABIM Gastroenterology Certification Examination and use explicit domain-to-subskill mapping for every topic covered.
• Master high-yield adult gastroenterology and hepatology concepts across esophageal disorders; stomach and duodenum; small bowel; colon and anorectum; inflammatory bowel disease; pancreas; biliary tract and gallbladder; liver; GI oncology; GI bleeding; nutrition; and endoscopy/procedure-related decis
• Apply concepts in realistic ABIM-style clinical vignettes requiring diagnosis, next best step, test interpretation, management selection, surveillance/screening interval selection, complication recognition, and risk stratification.
• Interpret common GI data sources accurately, including laboratory patterns, liver tests, serologies, imaging summaries, pathology/endoscopy descriptions, manometry/pH-testing concepts, and screening/surveillance intervals.
• Use a consistent board-style reasoning framework: identify the task → extract key clinical facts → localize the organ system/problem representation → select the governing guideline-based principle → execute the decision → verify against the stem.
• Distinguish common distractors, overlapping syndromes, contraindications, exceptions, and boundary cases frequently tested in adult gastroenterology board questions.
• Make appropriate decisions about indications, contraindications, risks, expected findings, complications, and follow-up for endoscopic and related GI procedures within the exam-candidate scope.
