Meet the Fellows
The PNWGS is excited to host a special virtual edition of the PNWGS Evening Program. As a tribute to Dr. Ikuo Hirano's unrelenting dedication to mentorship and training, we are folding a fellow and attending educational case conference, including diagnostic and management dilemmas in eosinophilic esophagitis, to which he dedicated much of his clinical research career.
This unique educational session will feature expert and fellow panels moderated by PNWGS Director of the Board, Harry Teicher, M.D. and PNWGS Board Member Anand Singla, M.D.
PNWGS members will enjoy learning from case presentations covering a variety of challenging and debatable GI cases from fellows at the University of Washington and Virginia Mason.
Featured special guest experts, Isabel Hujoel, M.D. from the University of Washington and Pierre Blais, M.D. from Virginia Mason Franciscan Health will lead the debate and discussion among the cases.
There will be a unique panel debate among our experts and fellows, followed by lots of opportunity for attendee Q & A and interaction with the expert panel and case presenters.
