I did not match into GI fellowship today. I’m grateful for those encouraging me on. This is a setback that I hope will lead to an even greater comeback. Congrats to all who did match! 🥳 What tips would you recommend for a transition year and while reapplying? #GITwitter

I am thrilled to join University of Utah Department of Internal Medicine July 2025 as an #obesitymedicine fellow. Though not my first plan, I believe it’s right where I need to be. It aligns so well with my medical interests. Excited to join the #MedicineElevated community and return to #Utah and #SaltLakeCity.

When I was studying Nutrition Science in college, the most nutrient dense foods of any lecture were generally green leafy vegetables, or cruciferous. Broccoli is still making waves. 🥦 What you eat really does matter.

This is where we are. We have an actor, Mel Gibson, and a podcaster, Joe Rogan, making claims about Ivermectin curing Stage 4 ancer. The minute you ask for evidence, it's a problem. Please cite the study that shows Ivermectin effectively treats stage 4 cancer. NOT IN VITRO

New publication ACGCRJ Interesting case to manage with colonoscopic approach for necrosectomy. This patient experienced nearly every imaginable complication of pancreatitis. If it could go wrong, it seemed to. Gratefully, he is alive and well today. journals.lww.com/acgcr/fulltext…

Covered the Veterans Affairs ICU and two hospital medicine services overnight earlier this month. It was nearly one device per patient (low census). That’s compared to my cell phone at my main hospital with TigerConnect. I wish Department of Government Efficiency would streamline VA communication 📟 📞
