Dear Friends,
It’s been a year since I have become editor-in-chief of The New Gastroenterologist and I am so grateful for our readers and contributors. Thank you for being a part of the TNG family. , including the increasing armamentarium of inflammatory bowel disease treatments, taking on leadership roles in diversity, equity, and inclusion, and tackling financial planning.
In this issue’s In Focus, Drs. Ariela K. Holmer, Shannon Chang, and Lisa Malter break down the factors that contribute to selecting therapies for moderate to severe IBD, such as disease activity and severity, extraintestinal manifestations, safety, prior anti–tumor necrosis factor exposure, perianal disease, and patient preference.
Drs. Michael G. Rubeiz, Kemmian D. Johnson, and Juan Reyes Genere continue our journey with IBD in the Short Clinical Review section, describing advances in endoscopic therapies in IBD. They review the resection of colitis dysplasia and management of luminal strictures with dilation and stricturotomy.
Early-career faculty are being requested to spearhead diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts at their institutions or for their groups. Drs. Cassandra D.L. Fritz and Nicolette Juliana Rodriguez highlight important aspects that should be considered prior to taking on DEI roles.
In the Finance section, Dr. Animesh Jain answers five common questions for young gastroenterologists. He addresses student loans, disability insurance, life insurance, retirement, and buying a first house.
If you are interested in contributing or have ideas for future TNG topics, please contact me (tjudy@wustl.edu), or Jillian Schweitzer (jschweitzer@gastro.org), managing editor of TNG.
Until next time, I leave you with a historical fun fact because we would not be where we are now without appreciating where we were: The first biologic therapy for IBD, infliximab, was only approved 25 years ago in 1998.
Yours truly,
