Guys, our textbook “Nutrition, Weight, and Digestive Health” is finally out. I got my hard copy and can’t help but pinch myself!! Shout out to all authors who were amazing throughout this process. Program directors make sure to grab this one for your fellows and residents! – at Washington, DC

Thank you to @colorofgi for the opportunity to discuss the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program before its launch tomorrow!
Speakers @gutdoc18, @saratraigle, and OCAN Coordinator @GallagherCristy broke down the new GLP-1 Bridge program and the importance of treating obesity as the chronic disease it is. As this new benefit launches tomorrow, we’re focused on ensuring patients, providers, and pharmacists have the resources they need to navigate it successfully. Help us spread the word and improve access to obesity care.
