4th Year Advanced Endoscopy Fellows Program

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video is a breakout session designed for women in the GI field. The session is free-flowing with no pre-planned content. The participants are encouraged to ask questions, share thoughts, and provide advice to the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE). One participant asks for advice on managing work-life balance with children, particularly when they don't understand why the participant has irregular work hours. Another participant shares their experience of balancing work and motherhood, emphasizing the importance of quality time with their children and finding flexibility in their work schedule. The discussion also touches on the importance of women supporting each other in the field, addressing challenges specific to women in GI, negotiating salaries, and finding ways to enhance professional development. The session also introduces the Women's SIG (Special Interest Group) and the LEAD (Leadership Development) program offered by ASGE. The participants are encouraged to share their thoughts and suggestions for the Women's SIG and future committees.
