As a former CAG Scholar, I know what these programs can mean to a trainee.

Cancelling Scholars, GRIT and Research Topics in 2027 means losing mentorship, opportunity and a place in the Canadian GI community.

@CanGastroAssn, what is the plan to bring them back?

Abortion is not just health care, it is a human right. Beyond infringing on bodily autonomy, there are conditions in pregnancy that result in death without safe abortion care. This is a calling for all in medicine to stand on the side of justice https://t.co/8FdGtvwI2L

Having a great time in London at #EASL ILC 2022! Thanks for all your support @UofTGastroHep and my mentor Dr. Keyur Patel!

[Samir C. Grover, M.D. @Samir_Grover]

Today my colleague Dr. Gabor Kandel was inducted as part of a prestigious group - the @UofT_DoM Academy of Master Clinicians, recognizing his physicianship and excellence in patient care.

But few know who he is.

I wanted to let you know about this amazing man. #gitwitter

Can Pickle Juice Help Ease Cirrhotic Cramps? https://t.co/0Okbm9uiW8 via @medscape

Reminder to residents/students that not all nodular livers are cirrhotic. This very nodular liver was also very soft (aka not firm). Anyone have a guess what this is and what could cause it?

[Partners In Health @PIH]

Partners In Health announced that its founder, Dr. Paul Farmer, unexpectedly passed away today in his sleep while in Rwanda.

Dr. Farmer was 62 years old. He is survived by his wife, Didi Bertrand Farmer, and their three children.

Liver Learning: Addiction Medicine for Liver Care Providers. The purpose of this course is to provide a focused overview of key addiction medicine topics and how they relate to the care of patients with chronic liver disease. Register here: https://t.co/5SN5a59NW3

@AusDrGupta @rajitgilhotra @LizzieAbyMD Similar here in Canada 🇨🇦! Lots of variability in exposure to liver transplant and even hepatology. Same for advanced endoscopy/therapeutics. I think all programs offer a solid foundation but some may be a better fit than others depending on your career goals!
