Discussing the importance of Colorectal Cancer Screening to the internal medicine residents RWMC Internal Medicine Residency

Our residents had excellent questions!

Fantastic course with a robust group of faculty and hands on exposure to the latest and greatest in endoluminal surgery and third space endoscopy.

Very excited to joining and learning from master endoscopists!

The #Mediterranean diet outranked 6 other popular diets in reducing heart attack, stroke, and all-cause mortality in a recent study.

Dietary counseling should be part of every care plan in those at high risk for #cardiovascular disease

What a great year and learning experience AHN Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition for advanced endoscopy fellowship ASGE GI Endoscopy.

Grateful for the wonderful friends and mentors I made here, Dr.Kulkarni, Dr Dhawan, Gursimran Kochhar MD, Adam Kichler, DO MEd!

Interested in research, let me know. Unfortunately cannot sponsor visa and no volunteer opportunity!! DM me!!

After 17 years of representing physicians and patients, UHC continues to use the same tactics to impose burdens to limit access to care. ASGE GI Endoscopy and the other GI Societies will continue the fight to protect access to care for patients.
