The first year of fellowship is an exciting time, with a steep learning curve for both procedural skills and new knowledge. It also forms a foundation for the rest of the fellowship, thus making it imperative to find a balance between patient care and the learning process, as well as positioning oneself for the future. Although many will be fortunate to have senior fellows guide them, it may not be universal. With this in mind, we invited Dr. Gaurav Aggar-wal to share with us his experiences and the lessons that he learned from his first year of gastroenterology fellowship in this month's Fellows' Corner, he is helped in this endeavor by his faculty advisor Dr. Amy Oxentenko. We hope that our readers will find this article useful.
