Today marks the final day of an incredible journey in gastroenterology & advanced endoscopy training UMarylandGI and @PennGIHep. I'm thankful for all the mentors gained and all I've learned during these years. Now onto Baylor Scott & White Dallas-Fort Worth to join on as faculty this fall. #GI 💩🩺

Congratulations and Best Wishes from your @PennGIHep Family! 🙌🏾💥
