“Experts” & “expertise” can be very dangerous to change interventions. In leading change, it’s better to think like an explorer than an expert. See the graphic below. An “expert” way of thinking can become a loop where knowing a lot turns into strong certainty. That leads us to mainly look for information that backs up what we already know, which then makes us feel confirmed. Experts can become oriented toward being right & getting affirmed, which can make their thinking narrower & more self-sealing over time. An “explorer” way of thinking is a loop focused on learning. It starts with being humble enough to admit we might not have the full picture, then asking questions, staying curious & trying to find out more - so new information keeps shaping our views & change practice over time. One of the greatest dangers in change experts (especially prevalent in external change experts coming into an organisation) is bias. Common biases are: - Confirmation bias: we search for information/evidence that supports what we already think & overlook anything that contradicts this. - “Solutioneering”: We jump quickly to a preferred intervention (new structure, operating model, digital tool etc) before fully understanding the local context & constraints. - ​Authority bias: we can give extra weight to the opinion of the most senior person (or the loudest “expert”) & discount what others (especially people closer to the work) are seeing or can contribute. - Overconfidence effect: we can be too sure we’ve got this under control, so we plan as if the future is predictable & leave too little room for learning & adaptation. - One-size-fits-all / template bias: we over-apply what worked elsewhere (reusing change models, templates & assumptions) even when culture, incentives, capability or demand patterns differ. - Case-study trap: We lean too heavily on successful past engagements & familiar sectors (“this looks just like Y”) & under-sample what is unique about this organisation. In a relatively stable world, expert-led change can deliver results. But as AI accelerates the pace of disruption, the edge shifts from having the answers to staying open to better ones. The most effective change leaders will be those who keep their curiosity switched on, run experiments, learn quickly & humbly adapt when the evidence changes. In other words, the future belongs to explorers - because in an AI-shaped world, agility is likely to beat expert ability when it comes to change.

@Hussam__Almasri @UMNGIFellows Welldone Hussam , very happy for you.

Didn’t and couldn’t lose grip on dreams! I’m grateful to share that I matched at the University of Minnesota GI Fellowship and I’m incredibly excited to join an amazing team. Looking forward to getting started! @UMNGIFellows

Fellows of the Royal College of Physicians have voted in favour of extending voting rights to collegiate members – many of them resident doctors – in elections for councillors and vice presidents. A higher percentage also supported the RCP exploring legislative change to extend voting rights for the election of the president. ‘Thank you to everyone who voted in this historic ballot. The results show a clear mandate for change, and I am proud to say that together, we are building a college that is modern, transparent and representative of all physicians.' @Mumtaz_Patel_1 Read more: ow.ly/2P5Y50XbczQ

@DarylRamai @AmerGastroAssn @AmCollegeGastro @ASGEendoscopy @UofUHealth @KByrneGastroMD @DouglasAdlerMD @MetabolicEndo @HealioGastro Congratulations @DarylRamai , enjoy the break

Grateful for the incredible year I spent at the prestigious Brigham and Women’s Hospital – Harvard Medical School, under the mentorship of the best physicians and endoscopists in the country, including but not limited to Dr. Christopher Thompson and Dr. Hiroyuki Aihara. I pursued 2 fellowships in Advanced Endoscopy and Third Space Endoscopy. It was a grueling journey, but one filled with immense learning and meaningful friendships. Now, I’m excited to begin a new chapter at the University of Utah as a Therapeutic Endoscopist, Assistant Professor, Director of Third Space Endoscopy, and Director of Endoscopic Research. After a short break, the real work begins!

🚨 AI won’t replace doctors… but it can prevent them from learning how to think. A critical article in @NEJM shows that if introduced too early in medical training, it weakens clinical reasoning. ✅ A good doctor will always need critical thinking. N Engl J Med 2025;393:786

📢 New study alert! Early anti-TNF 💊 may not suit everyone with #IBD. 🟢 For CD, early start = ✅ fewer surgeries & better outcomes. 🔴 For UC, early use = 🔺 more hospital & ED visits. 🧵🪡 timing is crucial—especially for UC! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ bit.ly/3HdpCIj @my_ueg

Kudos to our team @helpatologist @Marktheliverdoc #JoeCoad on an outstanding live demo of complex endohepatology cases including GV coiling, EUS-PPG, and liver biopsy. All performed with remarkable skill and composure. 🎊 Congrats to @smkahlon #MAES2025 for a fantastic meeting!

This is so relatable in the academic world. The good feeling from publishing or success lasts a few minutes….i loved this interview.

Grateful to have Best endoscopists as my ESD trainers. Missing @philboger . #BSG25Live #Trainers #ESD

Excellent session with interesting discussions. Enbloc endoscopic resection is preferable for ESCN and EGC #BSG25Live @BritSocGastro

Look who we have here, yes it’s @Samanta_JayPGI 🤗 Absolutely delighted to have you with us at #BSGLIVE25 Thanks @MitraVikramjit for bringing him on board!

@BilalMohammadMD @TausifSidMD @JPAchkarMD @amitbhattMD Congratulations @TausifSidMD all the best for the next phase of your career.

Congratulations to all the graduates !! But so proud of you @TausifSidMD for your incredible successes ! Cant wait to see what you accomplish in the next chapter ! @JPAchkarMD @amitbhattMD

@PaulGuzikDO @KMonkemuller Yes great point but even with STSC of margins the Recurrence rate of 14% is quiet high.

@KMonkemuller Does the cold EMR cohort utilize snare tip coag for polypectomy edges? If not, we know that using this technique substantially reduces recurrence rate.

❗️Cold EMR is worse than hot EMR - look 👀 at the recurrence of 27% with cold 🥶 EMR❗️ ✅ No difference in 🩸 👍🏻 ✂️ When resecting colon polyps we aim at R0 (complete resection) Source: gut.bmj.com/content/early/…
