About
Jorge D. Machicado is a leading voice in gastrointestinal endoscopy, with a primary research focus on the intersection of procedural safety and physician well-being. His most cited work, the 2023 American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy guideline on the role of ergonomics for prevention of endoscopy-related injury, has garnered 45 citations and represents a landmark contribution to the field. This guideline provides critical, evidence-based recommendations for reducing the high rates of musculoskeletal injury among endoscopists—a pervasive occupational hazard that can shorten careers and impair patient care. By systematically addressing scope design, room setup, and provider posture, Machicado’s work has reshaped how gastroenterology units approach workplace safety. Beyond this flagship guideline, his research portfolio spans clinical outcomes in pancreatic diseases and advanced endoscopic techniques, consistently emphasizing practical, implementable solutions. His contributions have positioned him as a key figure in the movement to make endoscopy safer for both patients and practitioners, ensuring that the next generation of gastroenterologists can perform procedures without sacrificing their own health.
