Today, we'd like to introduce Dr. Niket Sonpal as the new host of the Medgeeks podcast!

Who is Dr. Sonpal? Well, besides being an internist and gastroenterologist, he's an assistant professor at Touro College of Medicine in Harlem New York. In addition to that, he's had the fortunate opportunity to be the co-author of "Master the Boards USMLE Step 2 and Step 3" . He's also faculty at Medquest Board review and was faculty at Kaplan for their medical test prep. He's also done a variety of lectures with Medgeeks as well.

All these things combined has led to a 10 year history of teaching students medicine, the boards, and of course the grand round circuit.

Today, we'll be going over some background data and the management of upper GI bleed. The reason for making this the very first episode is based on the fact that the guidelines have just been updated as of May 2021. So, the data presented today and the summation of it, will help you get through taking care of your patients who have upper GI bleeds.

Dr. Sonpal likes to think of this podcast as your digital grand rounds.

So, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Red Zone Part 1.
