The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) has awarded Prabhleen Chahal the title of Master Endoscopist and the designation of Master of ASGE (MASGE).
Chahal, the Steven Schenker distinguished professor in medicine and chief of the division of gastroenterology and human nutrition in the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio became the first individual in Texas to receive the prestigious title.
The MASGE designation is awarded to physicians who have demonstrated excellence in gastrointestinal endoscopy through patient care, education, research, and advocacy. Recipients must also have achieved national and international recognition for their expertise, as well as advancements in diagnostic technology and quality improvement initiatives in gastroenterology.
Chahal expressed deep gratitude for the honor, stating, “For me, this award is more than a personal recognition. It is also a recognition of my mentors and colleagues who have been a source of inspiration to me. It is a celebration of all my mentees from whom I have learned as much as I taught.”
Chahal specializes in advanced endoscopic procedures, particularly interventional endoscopic ultrasound and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). She has authored over 150 peer-reviewed publications and currently serves as the chair of the ASGE Membership Committee, vice chair of the ASGE ERCP special interest group, and inaugural chair of the ASGE women’s special interest group.
Throughout her career, she has mentored more than 40 trainees, many of whom have become national leaders in the field.
The ASGE, a global organization with over 16,000 members, has only awarded 43 Master Endoscopist titles and 91 MASGE designations worldwide.
