Dr. Eberly was born in Dallas, Texas and grew up in Northern Virginia. She attended George Mason University for her undergraduate studies where she majored in biology with a minor in international affairs. After college, she attended medical school at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine where she developed a passion for gastroenterology and hepatology.

She completed her internal medicine residency at Inova Fairfax Hospital, during which time she published several papers on gastroenterology and hepatology. She served an additional year as Internal Medicine Chief Resident followed by a year as an internal medicine hospitalist before pursuing GI fellowship.

In her free time, she enjoys traveling and spending time with her family 

Dr. Dipam Shah was born and grew up in India and moved to the United States at the age of 8. He grew up in Scranton, PA, where he attended the University of Scranton and majored in biochemistry and molecular biology and then obtained his medical education from the Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine, also in Scranton.

Residency brought him to Northern Virginia, where he developed a strong interest in point-of-care ultrasound and medical education, prompting him to stay on as Chief Resident. Throughout his residency, Dr. Shah has published several papers on topics in gastroenterology and hepatology, as well as on the utility of point-of-care ultrasound in gastrointestinal setting.

Outside of medicine, he enjoys playing tennis, cooking, spending time with his co-residents, and exploring the diverse food scene in the DMV area.
 

Dr. Bara Abujaber grew up in Dubai and is originally from Jordan. He earned his medical degree from Jordan University of Science and Technology before moving to the United States to pursue training in internal medicine. He completed his internal medicine residency at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, where he developed a strong interest in gastroenterology and decided to pursue fellowship training in the field. 

His interest in gastroenterology stems from the field’s unique combination of clinical medicine, procedural skill, and rapidly evolving technology. He is particularly excited about the growing role of innovation and artificial intelligence in endoscopy and digestive disease research. This curiosity also reflects his early exposure to computer science through his father, which shaped his appreciation for how technology can advance patient care.

Outside of medicine, Dr. Abujaber enjoys swimming, hiking, and spending time outdoors. He is a big fan of barbecue and happily serves as the official taste tester for his wife’s delicious cooking. During fellowship, he is looking forward to developing advanced endoscopic skills, contributing to meaningful research, and caring for patients with complex gastrointestinal diseases while continuing to grow as a physician and educator.
 

Dr. Michael Andrews was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia. He earned his undergraduate degree in biological sciences from Virginia Tech (Go Hokies!) before attending medical school at Virginia Commonwealth University. He remained at Virginia Commonwealth University for his internal medicine residency, where he developed a strong interest in general gastroenterology and contributed to the field through several peer-reviewed publications.

Outside of medicine, Dr. Andrews enjoys spending time outdoors with his wife and son, traveling, exploring new restaurants, debating anyone willing to listen that LeBron James is the GOAT over Michael Jordan, and patiently waiting to witness the Dallas Cowboys win their first Super Bowl of his lifetime — especially since their last one came the year before he was born.
