Christopher Duggan - Pediatric GI and Global Health

In this episode of Bowel Sounds, hosts Drs. Jennifer Lee and Peter Lu talk to Dr. Christopher Duggan about how we in the pediatric GI community can and should get involved in global health. In addition to his work as Director of the Center for Nutrition and Medical Director of the Center for Advanced Intestinal Rehabilitation at Boston Children's Hospital, he has spent a substantial part of his career working to improve the care of children with diarrheal illnesses and malnutrition in other countries around the world. We talk about what inspired his passion for global health, how he was able to create his unique career path, and his recommendations for others in the pediatric GI community who want to get involved.

As always, the discussion, views, and recommendations in this podcast are the sole responsibility of the hosts and guests and are subject to change over time with advances in the field.
