Researchers also said the number of hours worked per gastroenterologist is not expected to increase at all but will more likely decrease slightly. The current trend of subspecialty training within GI is likely to continue, although this does not indicate further training or additional board requirements and subspecialty training will more likely be incorporated into three-year fellowship training, according to the study. Current sub-specialties include hepatology, inflammatory bowel disease, motility, small bowel imaging and interventional endoscopy.
