Season 2 of Small Talk, Big Topics is here!
AGA’s podcast for trainees and early career GIs, Small Talk, Big Topics, is back for season two. To kick off the new season, hosts Drs. Matthew Whitson, Nina Nandy, and CS Tse sit down with AGA President Dr. John Carethers in a two-part special to chat about his career and how his involvement with AGA has impacted him.
In episode one, Drs. Whitson, Nandy and Tse take a deep dive with Dr. Carethers to reflect on how he first got involved with AGA, his experience with different committees, and how those roles paved the way to leadership positions.
Now, as president, he says, “I am having so much fun. AGA has been with me for my entire GI career. It’s really the voice of the science and practice of gastroenterology.”
In episode two, Dr. Carethers examines the career advice he’s received, how it shaped his leadership style and provides guidance to early career GIs.
“What’s important about some of these higher-level [decisions] is to set a vision. You can’t be a leader if you have no followers, and people have to believe in something, that they’re moving toward something.”
