#Healthcare pressures are impacting the patient-provider relationship, especially for those with gut-brain disorders. But by improving #communication skills, we can enhance patient satisfaction, optimize visits, and restore meaningful connections: 🔗 neurogastrolatamreviews.com/frame_eng.php?…

#Communication is one of medicine’s most vital—and overlooked—skills. When we connect with patients, we build trust, improve outcomes, and find deeper meaning in our work. These are teachable, learnable skills that renew purpose in care. #PatientExperience journals.lww.com/ajg/citation/2…

Dr. Lin Chang leaves a lasting impact through both her groundbreaking #research and #mentorship. It’s no surprise she received the Neurogastroenterology & Motility Section Research Mentor Award at DDW. Congratulations, Dr. Chang, on this well-deserved recognition.

In this video, Dr. Laurie Keefer discusses how treatment for #DGBIs has evolved, with a focus on the role #GI psychology plays in improving patient outcomes. This shift in perspective is critical for delivering patient-centered care. đź”— vimeo.com/501257799

.UCSF Benioff SF is introducing intestinal ultrasound at their Walnut Creek Outpatient Center, offering a more efficient, noninvasive way to monitor #IBD in children. A significant step toward improving #PatientCare for those managing chronic conditions. ucsf.edu/news/2025/04/4…

When symptoms are dismissed as “all in your head,” the harm is real—anxiety, trauma, and delayed care. New Rutgers University research shows how validation, even without a clear diagnosis, can rebuild trust and change lives. #PatientCare #Communication rutgers.edu/news/when-doct…

The best medicine happens in partnership. Katie and I listened, adjusted, and built trust. Her resilience made me a better doctor—and reminded me that healing is mutual when empathy and teamwork lead the way. #PPR #PatientExperience drossmancare.com/aiovg_videos/h…

#DDW2025 was a huge success. Proud of our board members for their impactful presentations and grateful for the opportunity to learn, connect, and grow within the GI space. Thank you to everyone who made it out! #Gastroenterology

#IBS isn’t just in the gut—it’s linked to chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and trauma. New genetic research confirms these causal ties. To treat IBS effectively, we need to care for both the brain and the body. #DGBI Medical Xpress medicalxpress.com/news/2025-05-c…

One of my former patients, featured in my book Gut Feelings: The Patient’s Story – Personal Accounts of the Illness Journey, stopped by the Rome Foundation booth at #DDW2025. It was an honor to connect & reflect on how personal stories continue to shape the future of DGBI care!

A study shows 1 in 3 #IBD patient-GI doctor visits have miscommunications that impact care. Active patient engagement—asking questions, sharing details, seeking clarity—is key to better alignment and improved treatment outcomes. #Communication 🔗 healthcentral.com/news/ulcerativ…

Could a chatbot ease #IBS pain? A new #DDW2025 study says yes. Thai researchers found chatbot-guided FODMAP advice cut symptoms, improved diet knowledge, and helped reduce high-FODMAP intake, especially for those with severe bloating: Medscape medscape.com/viewarticle/ch…

June is #PTSDAwarenessMonth—a reminder that trauma often shows up in the body. In GI care, abuse history can drive severe symptoms through brain-gut dysregulation. That's why trauma-informed care isn’t optional—it’s essential to healing. #Gastroenterology journals.lww.com/ajg/abstract/2…
