These pages are very informative for the medical transcriptionist wanting or needing to know more about gastroenterology and, more specifically, gastrointestinal endoscopy, in a short time. Of course, reading these pages is not a substitute for the intensive study one needs to really know and transcribe the speciality, but the information, without doubt, provides a very good base knowledge of the specialty of gastroenterology and some of the tests and procedures involved. There are also a few links to the National Institutes of Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK).

(When reading the above topics, please keep in mind
that these pages were written to inform patients.)
