One PD meets another at an @ASGEendoscopy fellows course …and naturally, a collaboration begins. This one is especially meaningful. I spent a few years of my early childhood in Riyadh while my dad worked at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and now, years later, I get to reconnect with that part of my story through GI education. Grateful to @AlmuhaidbAymen for the invitation and excited for what I hope is the beginning of a lasting international collaboration in GI education. 🇸🇦🌎
