    Sometimes I look back at my CV and think HOW THE F*** DID I GET INTO GI? A thread for #MedTwitter #AcademicTwitter #GITwitter. I graduated from a #DO school, a good school but nowhere near the "top 50 US news rankings" (which is complete BS but that's another story). (1/5)

    By no means am I a #SocialMedia expert but my marketing team told me to get on tiktok and here we are. Work is fun when you love what you do and have a wonderful #officestaff for support. Couldn't do what I do without them. #GITwitter #MedTwitter gisolutionsla.com

    I know I'm not a big time professor with NIH grants or anything like that but mentorship changed my life. So if you are a med student wanting to see what GI is like in the real world contact me at [email protected] to set up a rotation with me! Share #MedStudentTwitter #MedEd

    So for all of you program directors out there, don't count applicants out because they don't fit your "mold". Not all of us do. Sometimes all we need is just a chance. A chance to #changetheworld. I leave you with this video from earlier today. #savinglives #gioncall (5/5)

    You know you must be doing something right when the colorectal surgeon himself refers you a patient for a large descending colon #polyp removal and writes this on his consult note. :) #teamwork #surgtwitter #GITwitter

    So what did I have? #Ganas #Grit. My undeniable, unrelenting, and unapologetic passion to accomplish my set goals and give back to my community whom many times it's forgotten and not provided the same type of services other more affluent communities are. #MedStudentTwitter (4/5)
