        Jerry left private practice in 1973 and was accepted by Professor Sheila Sherlock as a research fellow in gastroenterology and hepatology at the Royal Free Hospital, University of London. He became involved in ERCP and introduced colonoscopy to that institution. In 1975, Jerry accepted an appointment at the New York Medical College as training director of the fellowship program. Jerry honed his endoscopic and ERCP skills and became one of a few gastroenterologists in the United States performing ERCPs (Author photo 1, Author photo 2, Author photo 3). Jerry garnered his experience with sphincterotomies when he worked with Laszlo Safrany in Muenster, Germany.
        Jerry accepted fellows from other programs for advanced training; then, in 1989, he began one of the first advanced fellowship programs in therapeutic endoscopy in North America. Jerry is a clinical professor of medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He has published 123 peer-reviewed articles, 130 abstracts, 14 requested peer-reviewed articles, and 27 chapters in textbooks. In 1991, he published a single-author textbook on ERCP, which remains a standard today.
        Jerry has participated in symposia and live demonstrations throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, South America, China, Japan, and India (Author photo 4). He taught and trained gastroenterologists in Vietnam (Author photo 5, Author photo 6, Author photo 7, Author photo 8, Author photo 9, Author photo 10). That program was recognized by the ASGE's Ambassadors program and is continued today by his partner, Franklin Kasmin. Jerry is an ASGE Master Endoscopist. He has been on the editorial boards of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, the American Journal of Gastroenterology, and others.
        In 2014, Jerry received the prestigious Rudolph V. Schindler Award, the highest honor bestowed by the ASGE (Author photo 15). Jerry is a Master of the American College of Gastroenterology, a Fellow and past board member of the ASGE Foundation, and a Fellow of the American Gastroenterological Association. He is a Fellow and Past President of the New York Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine at the New York Academy of Medicine, a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences at the New York Academy of Science, and a member of other international organizations.
        Jerry was recognized, with 14 other endoscopists (5 from the United States and 10 from abroad), in a 2015 publication of the Cook Channel’s “40 Years of Interventional ERCP, Stories from the Pioneers.”
        Jerry and his wife of 62 years, Beverly, reside in Manhattan. They have a daughter, Dori; a son, Brian; and 4 grandchildren with strong family ties to Atlanta.
