Every day THIS amazing team PREVENTS about a dozen cancers from appearing (by removing pre cancerous polyps). The big guy, an amazingly happy nurse who is strangely serious in this photo, is a 30 year veteran nurse and a colorectal cancer survivor! It takes a large team- Happy GI nurse and tech week- including CRNAs, Anesthesiologists, schedulers, pharmacists, nurses, drivers, encouraging family members and willing patients to pull this off. The prep is no fun- but chemotherapy and surgery are worse. We love that don’t diagnose cancer every day but not a day goes by when we don’t PREVENT cancer!! Happy Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. As my shirt says “45 is the new 50!” (Thank you Laurie Boge ‘s Cloud Apparel and Scrubs & Heels for designing and distributing this.) Get er done! ?

On March 8 #InternationalWomensDay A strong shout out to all the women fighting for gender equity. It’s now more important than ever to amplify these women’s voices, support women’s rights, stop the violence against women & elevate women’s work here and around the world ! Just a reminder that the women’s rights we enjoy now were only acquired few years ago ! & our work towards gender equity & safety is far from over ! ??1919: 19th amendement for the women’s right to vote (But Asian, Blacks, Latinas, Natives women’s right to vote came much later !) ??1974: Women gained the right to open a bank account on their own with the passing of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ! A major win for women to be independent financially ??1988 Women gained the right to own a business and access loans without a male co-signer with the passage of the Women’s Business Ownership Act #WomensRightsAreHumanRights #StrongerTogether #ScrubsNHeels Aline Charabaty,MD,AGAF,FACG Anita Afzali MD, MPH, MHCM, FACG, AGAF

??We are honored to announce our Break the Glass Ceiling Award ??recipient, Dr. Nimisha K Parekh ??This award recognizes a female gastroenterologist who has developed an initiative to empower and advance the career of women in GI and close the gender gap/inequalities. ??Dr. Parekh was recognized for her many efforts in the field, including the Summer Healthcare Experience (S.H.E.) program of which she is the founder and director. This is a weeklong pathway experience at the UC Irvine which is designed to empower young high school students to pursue careers in healthcare with a focus on women’s health. “The S.H.E. Program is about education, supporting growth and empowerment of young women for a brighter future for all” says Dr. Parekh. This program has a huge success rate with 90% of graduates pursuing healthcare careers and almost one third of students have received full scholarships. ??Please join us at #ScrubsNHeels25 to honor Dr. Parekh, learn about her efforts, and gain inspiration to continue empowering women in GI. ????? #WomenInGI #WomenInMedicine #SheLeads #SheInnovates #SheAdvocates #SheEsucates #Mindset4Success Aline Charabaty,MD,AGAF,FACG Anita Afzali MD, MPH, MHCM, FACG, AGAF UC Irvine
