Vocational Training Gastroenterology and Hepatology (cont.) Components of Training (cont.) Research Trainees are strongly encouraged to undertake a period of supervised research in basic or clinical sciences. Training in research can be conducted as a non core period of training and may be part of a research program conducted with the aim of achieving a doctorate (PhD, MD) or other higher degree(s). Up to one year of the 3 years of advanced training may be undertaken in research. Extended periods of research will not be regarded as part of core advanced training in gastroenterology and hepatology.  Training Sites Any site for advanced training in gastroenterology and hepatology must provide the staff and facilities necessary to provide the content of the training program outlined above. This means that advanced core training will usually be undertaken in a level 3 teaching hospital but other positions will be considered individually and may be suitable for a period of training. Training sites will be visited by a member of the SAC and by a gastroenterologist from another institution at intervals of approximately 5 years.
