It was during my intern year subspecialty gastroenterology ward rotation at the University of Florida that I first realized how treating gastrointestinal diseases requires a deep understanding of medicine and mastery of procedural skills. I wanted to become a part of this rapidly evolving field with new interventions that venture into areas that were previously only possible through surgical techniques. Procedures like peroral endoscopic myotomy, endoscopic submucosal dissection, and interventional endoscopic ultrasound allow me to offer my patients effective therapies using less invasive methodologies with less morbidity and mortality. I feel a deep sense of joy every time I am able to assist in obtaining a tissue diagnosis, obviate the need for external drains or tubes, or prevent the need for an open surgery.
