RANCHO PALOS VERDES, Calif. — In a Healio video exclusive, Scrubs and Heels cofounders Anita Afzali, MD, and Aline Charabaty, MD, discuss the “inspiration, growth and transformation” attendees experienced at this year’s summit.

In its second year, the 3-day event continued its focus on professional and personal development for women and their allies in gastroenterology and offered a series of leadership sessions, networking opportunities and wellness experiences.

“I feel so thankful that these women trust us in celebrating their journey into gastroenterology and their growth on a personal and professional level,” Charabaty said.

Plans are already underway for next year’s summit, and Afzali and Charabaty look forward to expanding their efforts along the way.

“We are not going to wait the full year for what we are going to continue to do,” Afzali said. “We are going to continue to grow our network, our tribe, our circle — our individuals will each be key parts of the Scrubs and Heels team.

“We are going to continue to push each other to ensure that we are being comfortable in our own skin, being comfortable in our own heels or shoes, being comfortable in whatever we decide for our career journey.”
