Congratulations to our star fellow 🌟🌟 @fouadsjaber @AmCollegeGastro

It was a privilege to participate in Saudi Live Endoscopy at King Fahd Medical City in Riyadh (Jan 29–31). Three days of high-level live cases showcasing the full spectrum of advanced therapeutic endoscopy, third-space procedures, complex biliary interventions, hepatogastrostomies, and EDGE. The technical precision and confidence demonstrated by colleagues from across the MENA region ; Iraq, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan, were truly impressive. This was my second visit to Riyadh in three months, following time at King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre. After seeing both tertiary centers, it is clear that Saudi healthcare is rapidly advancing toward world-class, cutting-edge delivery. The availability of the same advanced platforms and devices we use in leading U.S. centers speaks volumes about the pace of progress. Congratulations to @AllehibiAbed and the organizing team for an exceptional meeting. The future of advanced endoscopy in the region is very bright.

Honored to be invited by the Gastroenterology Division at the University of Arizona in Tucson as the Grand Rounds speaker. It was a privilege to present on ESD and the future of endoscopy, engage with the fellows during morning rounds, and discuss challenging pancreaticobiliary cases. Great to connect with the advanced endoscopy team and see the launch of their third space endoscopy program by GI team.Thank you to Dr. Juanita Merchant for the invitation and warm hospitality.

On February 13th in Houston, we honor the Extraordinary Americans who've been leading, innovating relentlessly, and inspiring. @stephengillett @kkteily @SeragHashem & more. #TAKREEMAmerica #TA2026 #TakreemAmericanGala2026 #ArabAmericanExcellence #ArabAmericanLeadership
