About
James Buxbaum is a leading voice in gastroenterology, with a focused expertise in endoscopy-related ergonomics and the prevention of occupational injury among gastroenterologists. His most impactful work, the 2023 American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy guideline on the role of ergonomics for prevention of endoscopy-related injury, has already garnered 45 citations, underscoring its immediate influence on clinical practice and physician well-being. Buxbaum’s major contribution lies in systematically identifying the biomechanical risks inherent in endoscopic procedures and translating that evidence into actionable, evidence-based recommendations. By addressing the high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in the field, he has helped shift the conversation from reactive treatment to proactive prevention, advocating for improved equipment design, procedural technique, and workplace culture. His work not only protects the health of endoscopists but also ensures the sustainability of the gastroenterology workforce. Buxbaum’s research bridges the gap between clinical excellence and occupational safety, making him a pivotal figure in shaping a more ergonomic and resilient future for gastrointestinal endoscopy.
