AGA President-elect @BCryer took the stage at the ABGH 2026 Summit today! It's always a privilege to partner with AGA Allied Group @blackingastro on shared goals and advancing health equity in GI. #DDW2026
March is Colorectal Cancer Awarness month. If you are 45 years old or older, it is time to get screened for colorectal cancer. @AmerGastroAssn
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.

Working for greater GI Society collaboration to deliver the best GI care, research and education for our patients and members. @AmyOxentenkoMD, outgoing President @AmCollegeGastro, @amitabh_chak, current President @ASGEendoscopy and me, @BCryer, President-Elect @AmerGastroAssn. #acg2025
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
Me with the future leader of Gastroenterology. I am so grateful to have been part of their developmental pathway.
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
🔑 Conflict management & resilience
Every participant submitted a Specific Aims page and actively practiced their pitch, fully leaning in and getting the most out of the program.
Honored to have co-directed this with @BCryer and @SandraQuezadaMD, alongside Drs @MuyiwaAwoniyi2 and NicoletteRodriguez.
Thank you @AmerGastroAssn! 💎

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
🔹Competing professional priorities

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 !!!!
