Small bowel enteroscopy - As part of my GI fellowship training, I sought out and received dedicated endoscopic training in device-assisted small bowel enteroscopy procedures and clinical experience taking care of patients with small bowel bleeding and other small bowel pathology. Since arriving at UTHSCSA, I have provided consultative and procedural care to patients with small bowel bleeding and other small bowel pathology. I am currently the only endoscopist at the Audie L. Murphy Memorial VA Hospital with this expertise. When small bowel enteroscopy cases are necessary, I perform complex coordination of multispeciality resources (scheduling, anesthesiology, nursing, technician, equipment).
