Summary
- My career interest is developing young talents in academic medicine to maintain the progress of cutting-edge scientific and bench-to-bedside discoveries to advance the practice of medicine in GI and Liver diseases. In the era of increasing physician burnout due to decreased reimbursement and intrusion of EMR on one’s personal time, we need to bring to light the “why” and the “joy” of what we do.
