Program Description and Accreditation/CMEThe field of gastroenterology continues to experience an introduction of new and novel diagnostic techniques and therapeutic options affecting numerous areas of GI disease management and patient care. This program is designed to explore those areas which the gastroenterologist often faces in clinical practice and will address management updates in a variety of gastrointestinal and hepatic areas. During the pro-gram, several broad topics will be explored including manag-ing patients with Barrett’s esophagus, eosinophilic esophagi-tis, GERD, IBS, constipation, GI cancer including pancreatic, colon, esophageal and gastric, inflammatory bowel disease topics of dysplasia and pregnancy in IBD, and liver topics of hepatitis B and C and NAFLD. Smaller breakout sessions with the experts will be offered as well as hands-on endos-copy sessions.

This program is designed for gastroenterologists, primary care physicians, nurses, physician assistants and nurse practitio-ners interested in the latest information on diagnostic GI and state of the art treatment of these illnesses.

The American College of Gastroenterology is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The American College of Gastroenterology designates this live activity for a maximum of 11.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Cred-its™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Hands-on sessions provide a valuable learning opportunity for attendees, though no CME will be provided.
