These fellows showcased their commitment to advancing our field through their quality improvement projects presented at DDW® 2019.
Each year during Digestive Disease Week®, AGA hosts a session titled “Advancing Clinical Practice: GI Fellow-Directed Quality-Improvement Projects.” During the 2019 session, 17 quality improvement initiatives were presented — you can review these abstracts in the July issue of Gastroenterology in the “AGA Section,” www.gastrojournal.org/issue/S0016-5085(19)X0009-8.
