Training
All of our physicians are board certified in gastroenterology, having accumulated at least six years of training after medical school. The gastroenterology training experience is far more intense than that undertaken by general surgeons, internists, or family practitioners who decide to add endoscopy to their practices. Our physicians are trained to interpret and treat the conditions they identify and uphold the safest level of endoscopy.
The physicians who make up GI Associates have been trained at some of the finest, most prestigious universities in United States, and this diversity allows our physicians quick access to multiple sources of expertise, high level consultations and opinions without having to leave central Mississippi. This expertise and extensive training is not always present in hospital based endoscopy, as many of the physicians there may not be board certified or may not have extensive training in gastroenterology and therefore cannot provide the quality and safety that GI Associates can.
