I did it! πŸŽ‰πŸŽŠπŸŽ‰ Proud to share that I’ve officially passed the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) exam. Becoming board-certified marks the culmination of years of study, resilience, and the unglamorous grind that medicine so often demands. #ABIM #IM #Grit

ChatIBD has processed >6M tokens and >800 messages in the first 24 hours. The platform is running stable with a few minor timeouts. If you do encounter an error, trying again usually works. Thank you to everyone testing and helping us refine this tool for the IBD community.
