A medical doctor or specialist who performs gastroscopies and examines the stomach using a gastroscope.
From gastroscope + '-ist' (one who specializes in). This term identifies a medical professional trained in using the gastroscope.
Becoming a gastroscopist requires special training beyond medical school—doctors must practice hundreds of procedures under supervision before they can do them independently!
Medical specialist titles ending in '-ist' historically defaulted to masculine assumptions in medical literature and practice; women gastroenterologists were often marginalized in specialty recognition despite equal expertise.
Use 'gastroenterologist specializing in endoscopy' or 'endoscopist' to avoid gendered specialist nomenclature. Alternatively, 'gastroscopist' is acceptable if used gender-neutrally for all practitioners.

Women have been at the forefront of endoscopic technique development (e.g., pioneering work in therapeutic endoscopy by female gastroenterologists) yet are historically underrepresented in medical specialty terminology and recognition.
