I had a great visit with @Duke_GI_ this week for the Joanne AP Wilson Lecture. Duke has outstanding GI Department. Enjoyed meeting @Julius__Wilder, @CollinsMbonuMD, @sandraau_ and other GI faculty and fellows.

Thanks so much for an amazing talk, insight, and inspiration! @BCryer

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 #MedEd

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 for energy, ideas & generosity. ⁉️ Every opportunity starts with a question. Follow up. Add value. That’s how you build the network that opens doors - even the ones you can’t see yet! 🪄And the magic of social media? You don’t even need to be in the room to be part of it! ⚠️ As your network grows, make sure your relationships ARE NOT TRANSACTIONAL! The real magic happens when there’s sincerity & depth - when you care about the people, not just the opportunity. Next @AmerGastroAssn #WomeninGI Regional Workshop is 100% Virtual !!

For trainees out there who are aspiring for a career in GI and who were not successful on the first application, this advice by @doctornikkid is outstanding !!!!
