ACG’S FUNCTIONAL GI DISORDERS SCHOOL ACG / VGS / ODSGNA REGIONAL COURSE

ACG’S NEW FUNCTIONAL GI DISORDERS SCHOOL AND THE ACG / VGS / ODSGNA REGIONAL POSTGRADUATE COURSE ARE DESIGNED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE ENTIRE GI TEAM. Bring your entire practice and join colleagues at these two outstanding

programs developed specifically for gastroenterologists, gastroenterology

trainees, primary care physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician

assistants, pharmacists, therapists, and other members of the GI patient

care team.

These programs are ideal for health care providers who are looking

for a comprehensive update but don’t want to spend valuable time

away from the office. For the second year, we have added a full day of

education on Friday, nearly doubling the total education time offered

for the weekend. ACG’s new Functional GI Disorders School is a day-long

interactive educational program that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment,

and understanding of IBS and other functional disease states.

The ACG / VGS / ODSGNA Regional Postgraduate Course will be offered all

day Saturday and a half-day Sunday, with an agenda that features presentations

on upper GI disorders, pancreas/biliary issues, hepatology, lower GI/functional

disorders, IBD, innovations in endoscopy, legislative issues, and a special symposium

on obesity. In addition, the Keynote lecture, Addressing the Epidemic of Burnout in

Gastroenterology, will provide valuable pearls to recognize predictors, describe the

steps that can be taken to mitigate burnout, and identify ways to facilitate work-

life balance. The program will also feature a special nursing-sponsored session on

Saturday afternoon on Infection Prevention, as well as fellows’ case presentations

illustrating difficult GI management issues.

Step back in time and explore U.S. history in the Historic Area of Colonial

Williamsburg, which is just steps from the Williamsburg Lodge, a Marriott Autograph

Collection hotel. Colonial Williamsburg features more than 500 restored and

reconstructed buildings set on a 300-acre historic site. As a guest of the Lodge, you

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

ACG'S Functional GI Disorders School

Functional GI conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome and chronic

idiopathic constipation are among the most prevalent functional

diseases in the U.S. IBS is the most common disease diagnosed by

gastroenterologists and one of the most common disorders seen by

primary care physicians. These conditions can cause a level of personal

suffering and disability in patients that is often not understood by health

care providers. ACG's new Functional GI Disorders School will review

current goals of therapy and management strategies for IBS, utilizing

the recent ACG Monograph on the Management of Irritable Bowel

Syndrome as a primary resource. As part of a comprehensive approach

to determining and assessing ways to improve communication, diagnosis,

and management of patients with IBS, CIC, and other functional GI

diseases, the Functional GI Disorders School program will have a direct

impact for clinicians on the delivery of care.

ACG / VGS / ODSGNA Regional Postgraduate Course

The field of gastroenterology continues to experience an introduction of

novel diagnostic techniques and therapeutic options, affecting numerous

areas of GI disease management and patient care. This program explores

those areas often faced in clinical practice and addresses management

updates in a variety of gastrointestinal and hepatic areas. This course will

explore multiple areas, including the upper GI tract, pancreatico-biliary,

hepatology, legislative issues, lower GI tract and functional disorders,

IBD, endoscopic innovations, and obesity. The structure of the program

includes a mix of didactic presentations delivered by expert faculty,

breakout sessions, case presentations, and significant question and

answer opportunities.
