Obligatory #DDW2024 sign pic with the fellows of @UMichGIHep - all the learning, groundbreaking research and so much fun with the best people. 〽️💛💙#goblue#AGAGastroSquad
As if it wasn’t hard enough to get @UHC to cover necessary medications for #IBD Now we will be fighting for procedures as well. This is shameful and will cause harm to patients.
#DDW2023 is over but we need GI/hep to come together now to fight the June 1st UnitedHealthCare policy that will:
✔️Make barriers to GI care
✔️Hurt patients
✔️Increase GI disease/deaths
✔️Worsen disparities

@JessSheehanMD demonstrated that self-efficacy may mediate the relationship between patient activation and symptom burden in #IBD. Poster 1794 @ibddoctor@ShirleyCoMekMD
Very interesting work to break down these relationships #DDW2023
Another Friday night pizza party 🍕🎉with my favorite #womeningi 👩🍳👩🏻⚕️!! @JoyWChang and @pummy92 thanks for making sure we were all home in time to make this happen! Hope you can join us for the next one! @SarahUttal@MehwishAhmedMD
I hear so many awful stories about insurance denials for inflammatory bowel disease. Do they just not believe these diseases exist or what? @AnthemBCBS@UHC@Cigna@Aetna can I send you guys a Wikipedia article or something?
Power is still out here 🥶!
About to pack my bags and head to Airzon to hang with @silverman_anna ☀️
I would go visit @MallepallyRika but apparently there’s gonna be a blizzard in LA too?? 🌨️
Fantastic talk from @ibddoctor on the potential pitfalls of AI in GI!
Take home points:
🐶 don’t anthropomorphize
🤷🏻♀️ models won’t say “idk”
🔪watch for “edge” cases
And of course I have to include the labradoodle pictures!
**collaborators - one day I’ll learn how to spell! 🤔
Also, forgot to tag @UMichGIHep and @IBDimmunology !! Thanks as always for your ongoing support! 🙏🏻
Late to the party but very excited have 2️⃣ oral presentations and several posters at #DDW2023! Can’t wait to share our recent work on population level #SDOH and IBD outcomes!! And can’t thank my mentors and collaborates enough for making this happen!
