# Specialist – Gastroenterology – NMC Healthcare

NMC Healthcare is hiring a Specialist in Gastroenterology for Abu Dhabi. The role, as the posting describes it, is to provide specialised services for the diagnosis and management of diseases of the digestive tract, and to carry out the full professional duties of a gastroenterologist within the group’s facilities. NMC Healthcare, which describes itself as one of the UAE’s most established private healthcare providers with a history of more than 50 years in the country, operates hospitals, specialty centres and clinics across the Emirates.

In practice, that means running outpatient clinics for patients with conditions such as reflux disease, peptic ulcer disease, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, liver disease, gallbladder and pancreatic problems, and unexplained abdominal pain, anaemia or weight loss. You will also perform diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy, typically including upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy, with biopsies, polypectomy and other interventions depending on your skills and the facility’s equipment.

Gastroenterologists in a multispecialty hospital work closely with surgery, oncology, radiology, pathology and the emergency department. You may be called on for inpatient consultations and, depending on the hospital, for urgent endoscopy in cases such as GI bleeding. Accurate documentation, informed consent, sedation safety and strict endoscope reprocessing and infection control standards are central to the job.

NMC asks for a basic medical degree, completion of higher specialist training and specialist-level experience gained in a Tier 1 country as defined by the UAE healthcare regulator. The role suits a gastroenterologist with strong endoscopic skills, sound clinical judgement and a calm, reassuring manner with patients facing uncomfortable or worrying symptoms.

## Requirements

- Basic medical degree (MBBS or equivalent) and completion of higher specialist training in Gastroenterology

- Specialist-level experience gained in a Tier 1 country, as defined by the UAE healthcare regulator

- Eligibility for a Specialist Gastroenterologist licence with the Department of Health Abu Dhabi (DOH)

- Independent competence in diagnostic and therapeutic upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy

- Experience managing inflammatory bowel disease, liver disease and functional GI disorders

- Sound knowledge of procedural sedation safety and endoscopy infection control standards

- Ability to provide inpatient consultations and support urgent endoscopy as required

- Strong communication skills with patients, families and referring clinicians

- Current BLS certification; ACLS is an advantage
