The steps to become a gastroenterologist include:

• a five-and-a-half year-year MBBS degree
• a postgraduate MD degree in gastroenterology
• a 3-year training program, also called a residency, in internal medicine, which involves working with experienced gastroenterologists

After a student completes their residency, they must complete a 2- or 3-year fellowship to receive more specialized training in the field. This includes extensive training in endoscopy, a nonsurgical procedure doctors use to see the GI tract. Once the aspiring gastroenterologist has completed their training, they must clear a specialty certification exam for gastroenterologists.
