The 2020 Rising Disruptor is ...
During this year’s ACG 2020 Virtual meeting, Healio hosted its annual Disruptive Innovators Award ceremony.
These awards stem from the disruption that Healio caused in gastroenterology by using a Peer Tested concept to deliver in print what physicians read online. Using analytics, data and social media, what is trending online is delivered to your mailbox. The Healio Disruptive Innovators represent the revolutionary mindset of Healio Gastroenterology.
From social media giants to health equity, these Healio Disruptive Innovators are the ultimate in Peer Tested with more than 1,000 of our readers and followers voting.
Rising Disruptive Innovator
This award goes to an up and coming physician who is already disrupting the status quo in the field whether it be through new techniques, new thoughts, questioning methods or breakthrough research.
The awardee can be in fellowship, just entering private practice or recently appointed to a faculty position, but consistently comes to mind when we discuss “the next big thing.” With Austin Chiang, MD, and Jami Kinnucan, MD, as our first winners, we feel we have a good track record.
This year’s winner is:
Though hepatology is a seemingly smaller portion of what we discuss in GI, Elliott Tapper’s voice is heard loudly throughout.
His focus on cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy draw attention to the unmet needs for patients suffering from advanced liver disease while his research on quality improvement, decision-making and cost efficacy helps medical practitioners across specialties.
We anticipate even more from Tapper in the coming years.
