His work has been published in several peer-reviewed journals and books, including the American Journal of Gastroenterology. Dr. Levy also serves on both the FDA Related Matters Committee and the PR Committee for the American College of Gastroenterology.

    Dr. Levy is passionate about advocating for patients and teaching gastroenterology to medical students, residents and fellows. He is committed to improving healthcare education for patients. He has organized several national health education campaigns, including Tune It Up: A Concert To Raise Colon Cancer Awareness.

    In 2017, Dr. Levy helped organize a gastroenterology clinic for refugees resettling in Chicago, and he has presented at several international conferences in Europe teaching about gastroenterology care for immigrants. In 2018, Dr. Levy completed the Chicago Council on Global Affairs’ Emerging Leaders Program.

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication.
