Description

There have been great advances in the diagnosis and the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. For example, in the last year alone there have been more than 25,000 papers published on liver disease. Basic treatment paradigms for common GI conditions such as chronic hepatitis C are en flux as new classes of pharmaceuticals become available and even diseases without new therapies have been reappraised with new recommendations. In addition, to maintain their practices, gastroenterologists may need to look into offering other services such as motility testing, Barrett’s ablative therapies (such as cryotherapy and radiofrequency ablation), sacral nerve stimulation and complementary/alternative options (such as acupuncture and gut hypnotherapy), among others – yet formal education in these areas is limited. It is hard for practicing gastroenterologists to self-track all these advances and new therapies. The 29th Annual Medical and Surgical Gastroenterology conference will provide a learning opportunity for participants in various GI disorders, including an assessment of new technologies, new diagnostic and therapeutic options for inflammatory bowel disease, esophageal disorders, hepatopancreaticobiliary disease, and motility disorders.

Objectives

After attending this activity, the participant will demonstrate the ability to:

• Identify and utilize the latest techniques for the management of esophageal disorders
• Review updates and changing practice paradigms in viral hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis and steatohepatitis
• Identify and utilize the latest diagnostic and therapeutic techniques for the management of inflammatory bowel disease
• Review updates and changing practice paradigms in hepatopancreaticobiliary disease.
