In honor of #WomenInMedicine month I want to start a thread acknowledging all the amazing #WomeninGI & invite them to a discussion:

What is one bias about being a woman in this field that frustrates you? How do you overcome it? What do you wish patients and male colleagues knew?
Please feel free to tag colleagues and women in GI to share their story. Let’s talk!
