The best weeks combine learning, mentorship, and a few baked treats. 🍪 Our GI fellows had a great week on consults with medical students and celebrated the end of the week with goodies from Setto Bakery. #MayoGI #MedEd #FellowshipLife

Beyond the scale. We're proud to see Mayo Clinic GI Fellow Jessica Atieh (@JessicaAtieh) featured in Pharmaceutical Technology, discussing why the success of GLP-1 therapies should be measured by more than weight loss alone. From improvements in HbA1c and lipid profiles to positive effects on obesity-related comorbidities, including fatty liver disease, meaningful outcomes extend far beyond a number on the scale.

A full day of board review followed by an ice cream run? That's our kind of study break. 🍦 Our fellows know that the perfect recipe for success includes learning together and enjoying the journey together. #GIFellowship #BoardPrep

Some fellowships measure success in procedures and patient visits. Today we're measuring it in coffee cups. ☕📈 Four cups tall and still standing, much like our fellows after a busy day on service. The work can be demanding, but great teammates, good humor, and a little caffeine go a long way. Here's to supporting each other through the busiest days and finding reasons to smile along the way. 💙☕🏥

Thinking about fellowship? Here's what surprised me most: life outside the hospital. Before moving to Rochester, I expected fellowship to consume most of my time. Instead, Minnesota became one of my favorite places I've ever lived. This is the first post in a series highlighting life outside fellowship at Mayo Clinic. Stay tuned as we share more fellow perspectives on living, exploring, and thriving in Rochester and beyond. World-class training. Incredible quality of life. Unexpected adventures. #MayoClinicFellowship #WhyMayo #Gastroenterology #MedEd

📚 #ScholarlySunday Congrats to Dr. Ankit Chhoda and colleagues on their publication in Gastroenterology! Their study followed patients with pancreatic cysts and found that the risk of cancer increased as the number of concerning cyst features increased. The findings may help physicians better identify who needs closer monitoring or treatment while avoiding unnecessary procedures. 🔬👏 #PancreaticCancer #GIResearch #MayoClinicGI #MedicalResearch
