IFFGD's Junior Academicians Program
Program Goal
IFFGD’s Junior Academicians program was created to engage junior clinicians and researchers in order to increase their interest in functional GI and motility disorders. We hope that this will help to invigorate the field, raise awareness of IFFGD resources, and develop thought leaders for the future.
