Choosing a career as chief medical officer at a health technology startup

What if I want to learn more about the health technology startup experience?

The AGA Center for GI Innovation and Technology (CGIT) has a number of programs throughout the year, including the annual Tech Summit where you can learn about new companies, ideas, and technologies from like-minded individuals. I also invite you to reach out to me directly via Twitter, LinkedIn, or email with specific questions. As gastroenterologists, we are fortunate to work in a field full of innovation and new ideas. As a result, there are many meaningful career paths available to those interested in gastroenterology and technology. Whether providing direct clinical care with the latest endoscopic techniques or developing the next digital therapy, the opportunities for gastroenterologists will only continue to grow.
