What is your area of interest in the fellowship or areas of strength of the fellowship
I am particularly interested in the role that diet and lifestyle play in the pathogenesis of and management of GI diseases, particularly inflammatory bowel disease and functional GI disorders. I was drawn to Kaiser Permanente for my fellowship training for several reasons, including the clear focus and prioritization of the fellow educational experience, the incredible procedural volume, the exceptional research opportunities within KP and the fact I could work with multiple well-known experts within the field of gastroenterology. Another strength of our program is that the last two years (particularly the last year) are very flexible in terms of being able to explore unique interests with a ton of dedicated research and elective time, so I felt confident that I would have the time and support to focus on my particular areas of interest. My first year of fellowship was the happiest I have been in any phase of my medical training. I am excited to be entering the last two years of my fellowship training and have the ability to focus in more on my research and my specific areas of interest within GI. I have no doubts that upon the completion of my 3 years fellowship, I will be extremely well-trained clinically and accomplished in research.

WHAT MAKES ME THRIVE

WHAT IS YOUR AREA OF INTEREST IN THE FELLOWSHOP OR AREAS OF STRENGTH OF THE FELLOWSHIP
I’m interested in quality improvement in gastroenterology, with a particular focus on improving colorectal cancer screening and prevention -- the role we play in preventing a disease as devastating as colorectal cancer is one of the reasons I fell in love with Gastroenterology. I’m also interested in health disparities, especially at the intersection with colorectal cancer screening and prevention.

WHAT IS YOUR AREA OF INTEREST IN THE FELLOWSHIP OR AREAS OF STRENGTH OF THE FELLOWSHIP
I was drawn to the fellowship program at Kaiser Permanente San Francisco for a number of reasons. From my interview day to starting as a first year fellow I have seen how enthusiastic and dedicated the program leadership and faculty are towards creating an environment in which the fellows can thrive. The curriculum has been carefully crafted to include evidenced-based and interactive learning opportunities through clinical and procedural hands on training. Additionally, the program provides comprehensive support and mentorship for research in quality improvement and clinical investigations. My academic and clinical interests include general gastroenterology and medical pancreatology, and I look forward to working closely with our incredible faculty to develop research within these fields and continue to foster my clinical and procedural skills. Most importantly, the department here at Kaiser SF is extremely welcoming, receptive to feedback, and I feel assured that I will be competent and ready for clinical practice upon graduation.
