Under the direction of expert faculty, this course is designed to improve endoscopic practice and change the learner’s approach to a wide range of disorders of the GI tract. The course content will provide current evidence and algorithms to support an efficient but effective evaluation of GI disorders, followed by prompt initiation of appropriate therapy that is directed toward improving patient care and outcomes.

The knowledge base for gastrointestinal endoscopy continues to expand, accompanied and fueled by rapid growth in technological innovations. Advances in therapeutic endoscopy are challenging or replacing techniques that before were purely diagnostic. While maintaining standards of quality and safety, gastroenterologists must understand and effectively apply current and emerging diagnostic and treatment options in order to elevate practice levels and enhance patient outcomes.

This course will help participants improve their ability to accurately diagnose and effectively treat gastrointestinal diseases and disorders, enhance quality and safety in practice settings, recognize trends and technological advances in interventional endoscopic and surgical procedures, and foster an evidence-based approach to endoscopic decisionmaking for commonly encountered and controversial problems in gastroenterology.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify appropriate methods to detect and treat common disorders of the small bowel, colon and pancreas, as well as endobariatric therapy for obesity, and review the effectiveness of these approaches

• Discuss the spectrum of commonly seen disorders of the esophagus and stomach, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, Barrett’s esophagus, motility disorders and gastric intestinal metaplasia, and outline related treatment options and their effectiveness

• Discuss the management of metabolic associated fatty liver disease and evaluate the efficacy and safety of current treatments

• Evaluate advances in the methods of assessing disease status in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and discuss the application of these techniques to patient treatment

• Examine the diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities as well as complications of current and emerging advanced endoscopic techniques to diagnose and treat disorders of the hepatobiliary tract, pancreas, and luminal gastrointestinal tract and to detect and manage suspected small bowel bleeding
