Where does endoscopy end & surgery begin? I think it is not so clear anymore. Endoscopy is going places that only surgery went in the past. Video from a recent EPOEM for achalasia. Does this look like endoscopy to you? Thoughts? #gitwitter #surgery #medicine #medtwitter

Can always tell when #GIFellowship application season is upon on us. There’s a nervous excited energy in the air. Just today I met two FMGs re: optimizing their application & b/c we don’t gate keep, hope these tips will be a good reminder for all! 1. Polish your ERAS ✅ Clear, typo-free application ✅ Concise, reflective personal statement (skip the clichés) ✅ List visa info accurately — programs value clarity 2. Apply strategically 🔍 Use FREIDA to filter for programs that accept J1/H1 📍 Target university-affiliated community programs 🎯 Apply broadly — especially newer or smaller programs
