John Barnard - How to Succeed in Pediatric GI Research

In this episode of Bowel Sounds, hosts Drs. Peter Lu and Jennifer Lee talk to former NASPGHAN President Dr. John Barnard about the past, current, and future of pediatric GI research.  We ask him to reflect upon his career as a leader in the field of pediatric GI and specifically in advancing pediatric GI research for the past several decades.  We ask him how research interest and funding is changing over time, how researchers can best position themselves in today's research landscape, and what he feels are the most important factors for success as a medical researcher.  We also discuss how our community can better support women and underrepresented minorities in academic medicine.  Finally, he talks to us about the advice that has guided him throughout his career.

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.
