20% of trainees with no exposure to Nutrition, over 60% with no or only some exposure to Nutrition. This is not advanced endoscopy or HPB, this is Nutrition. How and why has that been allowed to happen? What decisions have been made to improve or worsen this?
@BSGTrainees
#FGCUP
the 2nd paper in the running for the crown is "JAK inhibitors for IBD", a fantastic review describing the use of JAK inhibitors for both UC and Crohn's - "a novel class of orally administered drugs for the treatment of IBD"
It's the moment you have all been waiting for. It all comes down to this. Liver vs IBD. Who will be crowned as champion of
#FGCUP
