Master Endoscopist Award

Reem Z. Sharaiha, MD, MSc

"It is an immense honor to receive the Master Endoscopist Award in recognition of my work. It is a privilege to join such a distinguished list of prior awardees, many of whom are my role models and friends. I am deeply humbled to have been able to uphold the values of this award, which includes a commitment to the advancement of GI endoscopy and its practices. I strongly believe that these should be the values of every gastroenterologist. I am sincerely grateful to the ASGE for recognizing my efforts and supporting me, and I would like to thank my colleagues, my family and everyone who supported me in this endeavor – many of whom have been a great source of inspiration and guidance for me. I look forward to the next chapter."
