Established in 2003 as a basis for Fundeni Gastroenterology Clinic under the coordonation of Prof. dr. Mircea Diculescu, it becomes in 2009 the Elias Gastroenterology Clinic and later the Elias Universitary Hospital of Emergency Discipline in the Deparment 5 Clinical Education of the Faculty of Medicine from ’Carol Davila’ University of Medicine and Pharmacy.
In 2016, it has 5 academic staff with contracts of indefinite duration. Since 2009, forth year students from the Faculty of Medicine are trained in the Gastroenterology module, while in the 2015-2016 academic year 3 series of students are teached. Outside the education process in theoretical and practical components, students were also trained constantly in scientific research, by participating in the students scientific events: every year licence works are carried out by final year students.
Since 2003, residents are trained in the Gastroenterology specialty and in the special modules organised for other specialties. In the last years, 7 PhD have finished their doctorate studies based on the research activity performed in the Discipline. Research projects carried out in the Discipline have been anually valued by publishing articles in national and international specialty magazines and by participating at national and international scientific manifestations.
The Elias Gastroenterology and Hepatology department has a recent history, being founded 13 years ago under the leadership of Professor Mircea Diculescu, and with the majority of doctors who work here being trained by the Fundeni Gastroenterology Clinic team. Currently, the medical activity is provided by a total of 9 doctors, among which five academics and one dedicated to research..
The medical activity focuses on the complex approach of digestive emergencies, taking them from the emergency room and solving them in conjunction with the surgical and medical clinics within the hospital; Also, our team is involved in solving digestive emergencies that occur in hospitalized patients in other wards, but also for endoscopic diagnosis evaluation of patients from surgery, internal medicine, oncology etc.
Our ward has a total of 45 beds, some of which are dedicated for 1 day hospitalization mainly useful for biological treatment or complex endoscopic therapy. Treatment of complications of liver cirrhosis and diagnosis and staging of digestive neoplasms represent the main areas of chronic pathology in our clinic. Neoplastic digestive diseases screening is also one of the areas of interest of the doctors in the clinic.
The scientific research is an important component of the Elias Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Endocopy Clinic activity. The research team is represented by 5 academic staff (Associate Professor, Senior Lecturer, 3 Assistant Lecturer) and two researchers. The scientific research activity has been valued by scientific research papers based on grants or contracts with CNCSIS in the National Plan for Research – Development and POSDRU grants for young PhD and post-doctoral researchers, clinical studies sponsored by pharmaceutical companies. Valorification of research results was done by publishing articles in national and international journals indexed ISI and CNCSIS B/B+, communications in the form of oral presentations and posters at national and international scientific manifestations, drafting chapters in monographs and treaties of specialty.
Education activity is achieved through preparation and teaching courses and practical works for forth year students of the Faculty of Medicine from ’Carol Davila’ University of Medicine and Pharmacy in the Gastroenterology module, coordination of license works, guidance and training gastroenterology, internal medicine, diabetes and metabolic diseases residents. The course work for students is supported in Gastroenterology Course drafted by the clinic team.
The training for Gastroenterology residents requires clinical activity, gastroenterological emergencies, ambulatory, training in diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy as well as general ultrasound, using modern equipment and accesories.
