Description

Board Pearls is a gastroenterology board review built around clinical reasoning, not recall. Each episode takes one high-yield topic and works it the way you would on rounds: a case to anchor it, the framework that sorts the differential, and the specific decisions the exam rewards. The gastroenterology series covers the full blueprint across nine modules: esophagus, stomach and duodenum, small bowel, colon, pelvic floor, liver, pancreas and biliary, endoscopy, and the cross-cutting topics. Episodes are grouped by chapter and built from the primary guidelines and pivotal trials the boards draw from (ACG, AGA, AASLD, ASGE), not from textbook summaries. Use it as an audio companion to the written curriculum, MCQs, and AI tutor at boardpearls.com. Questions or feedback: hello@boardpearls.com.
