There are a number of father and son duos in gastroenterology. As a special tribute to Father's Day, the College invited several of ACG's "fortunate sons" to profile their fathers and share insights and memories of their Dads as role models and inspirations in their choice of a career in GI.

These thoughtful and revealing Father's Day tributes recognize the remarkable achievements and contributions of their Dads to the GI profession.
