- MD06.01 Development of the Gastrointestinal SystemExplain embryologic development of the gastrointestinal tract, including foregut, midgut, hindgut differentiation and rotation, to understand congenital anomalies and developmental gastrointestinal disorders.0
- MD06.02 Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal SystemIdentify gross and microscopic anatomy of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, pancreas, and biliary system, correlating structure with digestive function, vascular supply, innervation, and clinical significance.0
- MD06.03 Physiology of the Gastrointestinal SystemAnalyze inflammatory, infectious, neoplastic, vascular, and functional gastrointestinal diseases, linking pathophysiology to clinical presentation, laboratory findings, imaging, and disease progression.0
- MD06.04 Pathology of the Gastrointestinal SystemExplain mechanisms, indications, and adverse effects of drugs affecting gastric acid, motility, inflammation, and infection, including antiemetics, laxatives, antidiarrheals, and acid-suppressing agents.0
- MD06.05 Pharmacology of the Gastrointestinal SystemDevelop skills in gastrointestinal history-taking, abdominal examination, interpretation of liver function tests, stool studies, endoscopy, and imaging to diagnose common GI and hepatobiliary conditions.0
- MD06.06 Clinical examination of the Gastrointestinal SystemDevelop skills in gastrointestinal history-taking, abdominal examination, interpretation of liver function tests, stool studies, endoscopy, and imaging to diagnose common GI and hepatobiliary conditions.0
