We are incredibly proud to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our team at the 2025 American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) Conference in Phoenix!
A huge congratulations goes to Dr. Crystal Dorgalli for her exceptional work. Dr. Dorgalli not only won the prestigious Presidential Poster Award but was also honored with the Outstanding Poster Presenter Award! 🥇🏆
Her award-winning presentation was based on her case report, “A Rare Presentation of Merkel Cell Carcinoma with Gastric Metastasis.” This is a remarkable accomplishment, and we are so proud to have her represent RCH.
We also want to celebrate our residents Dr. Nishani Wickramarachchi and Dr. Regis Lee, who traveled to ACG to present their own posters:
- Unmasking a Rare Malignancy: Terminal Ileum Adenocarcinoma Diagnosed after Recurrent Small Bowel Obstruction.
- Petersen’s Hernia in the Setting of Gastrointestinal Bleeding: a Diagnostic Challenge after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
- Distinct Lipid and Liver Enzyme Trajectories in Diabetic vs Non-Diabetic MASLD/MASH Patients Treated with Resmetiron: a Multicenter Propensity-Matched Analysis
- Alcohol Use Reduction with GLP-1 Agonist Use
- The Silent Assault: How Salmonella Can Trigger Acute Liver Injury
- Exploring the Impact: Periampullary Duodenal Diverticulum and Pancreatitis
Our RCH GI fellows were also in attendance, making for a strong RCH presence.
Congratulations to everyone on this fantastic professional achievement!
