Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Joseph Baikari, a Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine, discusses strategies for success in challenging healthcare environments with a focus on gastroenterology. He emphasizes the future growth of ambulatory endoscopy centers and the increasing demand for endoscopic services due to an aging population and the burden of chronic diseases. Dr. Baikari also discusses the trend of consolidation and growth in the field of gastroenterology, the shortage of gastroenterologists and nurses, and the impact of artificial intelligence on nursing duties. He proposes innovative solutions such as increasing the number of fellowship programs, building high-quality APP (advanced practice provider) teams, and considering an APP physician endoscopy team to address the physician shortage and improve timely access to endoscopic services.
