INSIDE THE JOURNALS: ACG CASE REPORTS JOURNAL

Meet the ACGCRJ EDITORIAL BOARD

Editor-in-Chief Parth J. Parekh, MD Carilion Clinic Roanoke, VA THE OPEN-ACCESS ACG CASE REPORTS JOURNAL OFFERS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY for trainees to engage in every aspect of the publication process, including manuscript writing and editing. The Journal has given me insight into the depth and breadth of pathology across the United States and worldwide, as we attract manuscripts internationally. Personally, this has really opened my eyes to expand my clinical horizons. So many times I have read a manuscript that describes a unique presentation of an everyday diagnosis or an extremely rare diagnosis and then see it clinically in my own practice shortly thereafter. I, like other practitioners, would have likely missed the diagnosis had I not been able to read similar experiences in the ACG Case Reports Journal. In addition, reading different cases has definitely lit a light bulb for me in terms of research ventures.

The Journal is still in its infancy. I have been fortunate enough to be involved with the Journal for three years, serving both as Associate Editor and now as Editor-in-Chief. I have had a chance to see it really grow. The talent that we recruit for the Editorial Board continues to amaze me, and this year is no different! I am very excited to see the direction we take the Journal this year and how we can really put our stamp on it as it makes tremendous strides in educating and connecting trainees from around the globe.
