If you are a GI Fellow today, the good news is that Gastroenterology has the most job opportunities among our internal medicine subspecialties. As the demand for GI services continues to diversify in a post-pandemic era, gastroenterology jobs are increasingly available in many geographic and practice settings. This program has been designed with second- and third-year GI Fellow in mind.  We will address a variety of clinical and non-clinical topics that are not commonly covered in detail during local fellowship training.  Leading ASGE experts in both clinical and practice setting backgrounds will facilitate a combined immersive lecture, breakout discussions and endoscopic skills-based/hands-on experiences.

At the conclusion of this program, you will have the opportunity to draft a priority list that focuses on what you are looking to accomplish in your early career years. During this process, we will also help guide you in doing your due diligence in asking the “right” questions, involving your family and close network, and then go with what “feels" right.

New for this year, the program will introduce a virtual component, allowing participation from anywhere in the world.

Registration is complimentary for ASGE Trainee members. We look forward to your participation.

Participants will be able to:

  • Identify professional and flexible approaches to employment options, knowing the right questions to ask, how to assess DEI related topics while responding to inquiries from future employers
  • Experience more detailed hands-on training that you might have only touched upon in your formal training as of current date (e.g. EMR, Suturing, Enteral stents, management of GI Bleeding, and various Balloons)
  • Determine strategies to balance personal and professional goals
  • Recognize and implement ergonomic best practices in endoscopy to enhance procedural performance and minimize work‑related musculoskeletal injury throughout early and long‑term practice
