President’s Letter

 

Dear Trainees and Early-Career GIs,

As I begin my time as President of AGA, I am reflecting on other new beginnings in my career. Though time has passed, I vividly recall the excitement and uncertainty of beginning training and, subsequently, my career. It’s a career that I’ve enjoyed immensely and I hope that you will as well.

AGA Institute

Throughout my career, and especially in the early years, AGA provided invaluable support. For example, it provides a diverse array of professional and educational tools and offers us many opportunities to enhance our knowledge and expertise no matter the path we take, whether it be academia or clinical practice.

All our resources are available online at www.gastro.org and we have a suite of apps including guidelines, image challenges, DDSEP, and publications that you can download to your mobile device. You can learn more about those at www.gastro.org/mobile-offerings.

Another great resource is the AGA Community, where you can join a private online conversation with other early-career gastroenterologists. You can access a library of resources there and talk with gastroenterologists who are in the same career phase as you are. Join the conversation at community.gastro.org.

The New Gastroenterologist is the perfect place to start your professional journey and to stay on the cutting edge of the field. It provides a wealth of information you won’t find in other publications. Its unique focus promises that you’ll read content that meets your immediate needs as a trainee or early-career gastroenterologist.

On behalf of the AGA Governing Board, I wish you great success in this exciting field!


Sincerely,

Sheila E. Crowe, MD, AGAF

President, AGA Institute

Professor of Medicine and Director of Research, University of California, San Diego
