In this installment of GI Fellows Chat, Anam Herekar, MBBS, chats with Gastroenterology & Endoscopy News about her first two years of fellowship at the Medical College of Georgia, in Augusta. GI offers a “good mix of medicine and procedures,” Dr. Herekar said. “On one hand, [GI] is really intellectually stimulating and on another, you also get to decide about the length of procedures you want to do.”
That flexibility is important for work–life balance, she explained, an important consideration as Dr. Herekar spent most of the second year of her fellowship pregnant. “My program has been very supportive,” she said. “It’s important for us to have helpful and supportive colleagues in order to navigate between … training as well as the pregnancy.”
