Great to host @RickPeekMD , Chief of GI at @VUMChealth, as our Rouse Visiting Professor at Baylor Dallas! He delivered an exceptional lecture on H. pylori & gastric carcinogenesis. Key takeaway: in any unexplained iron deficiency anemia → test for H. pylori.💡 #Gastroenterology

So proud of this incredible group of early-career GI leaders who made #AGABestofFORWARD truly shine! 🌟 Every session was intentionally designed to build practical skills: 🔑 Grant writing & elevator pitch 🔑 Sources of funding (federal + non-federal) and negotiation 🔑

At the @AmerGastroAssn FORWARD Program today, @GabreJoel tackled one of the toughest transitions in medicine — the leap from fellow to faculty. Key challenges for early-career physician-scientists: 🔹Balancing new family, career, and debt 🔹No clearly defined research path

Ah. Love This @GutGirlMD! @BCryer telling us: ⭐️It’s not about networking for networking’s sake - it’s about intention! 🪖 🫡 To every trainee take this as a challenge. In every room (or Zoom) meet 3️⃣ people who inspire curiosity or growth. ⚡️Don’t look for titles. Look
@MN_GIMD @BCryer @AmerGastroAssn Dr Cryer introduced his “rule of 3”s- to intentionally meet 3 people in every room who will lead you closer to your goals. Then YOU can be the answer to the question in every nominating commmitee closed door meeting: “Do You Know Someone Who..”.😊🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♀️👉

Men seek weight loss treatment far less often than women. Doctors are concerned.

💡Lubiprostone, a constipation drug, slowed chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression in a Phase II trial by improving gut microbiota + mitochondrial health. If confirmed, it could become the first therapy to directly protect kidney function. 🤔 A kidney-GI tract connection??
