In honor of African-American Heritage Month, we invite you to engage with us as we discuss ways to expand the pipeline of African American early career GIs and learn more about the experiences of Black patients with GI diseases.  

We’re exploring ways to expand the pipeline of GIs from underrepresented populations

Join us on Wednesday, Feb. 16, at 8 p.m. EDT for our Career Development Workshop: Solutions for Expanding the GI pipeline for Underrepresented Populations. The discussion will be an opportunity for trainees and early career GIs to gain a deeper understanding of the roles we can all play in advancing opportunities for physicians from underrepresented populations in GI medicine. We encourage you to register for this free live discussion and join into the conversation.
