General Objectives
The Gastroenterology concepts include the physiology and pathophysiology of digestion, absorption and metabolism of macronutrients and micronutrients, the structure and function of the hepatobiliary system, gastrointestinal tract integrity and gastrointestinal autoimmunity. Additionally, these concepts provide an introduction to understanding the common disorders of the gastrointestinal tract and the hepatobiliary system. During this Foundation you will develop an understanding of the important elements of the structure and functional relationships in the gastrointestinal tract. By the end of the Foundation, you should have an understanding of the significance of the cardinal manifestations of gastrointestinal disorders.
