Hey folks, just a quick reminder that this episode is now meant to be used for medical advice, just good old-fashioned education.

All patient information has been modified to protect their identity and the views expressed in our podcast do not necessarily reflect the opinion of our employers.

So, hello, hello everyone and welcome back to another Raffel-Medina subspecialty virtual morning report.

Today, our focus will be on gastroenterology, and for this we have two amazing guests.

As a case discussed, we have Dr ryan flanagan who is a faculty

member at the brigham and women's hospital and instructor in medicine at harvard medical school in

boston he grew up locally in a boston area attended college and medical school at tufts university

and completed internal medicine residency at Massachusetts General Hospital.

During his GI Fellowship at the Brickham, we complete research projects on a variety of topics,

including gastrointestinal motility, the GI Hospitalist model and medical education. He has clinical

focus on the inpatient GI Consult Service and is the associate program director for the

Gastrontorology Fellowship Program. And as a case presenter, we have Dr. Alison Richardson,

who is the second year gastroenterology Hepatology Fellow at Brickham and Women's Hospital.

She was born and raised in Michigan, attended University of Michigan for undergrad, Case Western

for Medical School, Case Western for Medical

School and Stanford for residency. She's interested in general gastroenterology, quality

improvement, and healthcare operations. She also enjoys running, painting, paddleboarding, and

exploring Boston. And before we jump into the case, I would like to ask both of you why you chose gastroenterology as a subspecialty

and what you like to do outside of medicine.

Great.

Thanks so much for having us.

I'm really excited to be part of this and hopefully make it educational for everyone.
