“Today marks the end of my 3-month rotation at MD Anderson Cancer Center.

It has been an incredible learning experience! I’m deeply grateful to Dr. Van Morris for the opportunity to join his team and for his outstanding mentorship.

His passion for oncology, deep knowledge, and remarkable dedication to teaching – combined with his genuine kindness – have made this experience truly unforgettable! I’m heading home with new ideas, projects, and, above all, renewed motivation and hope for the future.

And a heartfelt thank you also to Dr. Blum, whose patience, warmth, and dedication to teaching have left a lasting impression on me She has helped me fall even more in love with gastroesophageal tumors!
