The 2nd Annual UCLA–Mellinkoff Gastroenterology Symposium will focus on novel medical, endoscopic and surgical therapeutics for a wide array of gastrointestinal and hepatic disorders. Distinguished faculty will share their specialized expertise through formal lecture, Q & A panel discussion and hands–on endoscopy opportunities.

1. Discuss treatment options for esophageal disorders including Barrett’s esophagus

2. Describe the applications, execution and advancements in therapeutic gastrointestinal endoscopy

3. Demonstrate enhanced procedural skill when managing gastrointestinal bleeding

4. Incorporate novel treatment strategies when managing inflammatory bowel diseases and its complications

Sherman M. Mellinkoff, MD

The UCLA-Mellinkoff Gastroenterology Symposium is named after a passionate advocate for medical education and a highly respected clinician-teacher who continues to serve as emeritus dean and emeritus professor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.

In 1962, Dr. Mellinkoff was asked by then-Chancellor Franklin Murphy to serve as dean of the UCLA School of Medicine. For the next 24 years, he would oversee a period of remarkable growth and development during which the school secured an international reputation for both medical education and research. By the time he retired in 1986, Dr. Mellinkoff had held his position longer than any other active medical school dean in the country and had earned the nickname “Dean of Deans.”

From the beginning, Dr. Mellinkoff was cherished for his commitment to medical education. In both 1961 and 1962, UCLA’s medical students presented

him with the Golden Apple Award as the faculty member most respected as a clinical teacher. Two decades later, he received the Abraham Flexner Award from the Association of American Medical Colleges, one of its most prestigious awards, and was invited to present the 1982 Alan Gregg Lecture. At UCLA, the Sherman M. Mellinkoff Faculty Award was established in 1979 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the medical school. The award honors the ideal in doctor-patient relationships and medical education. Because of the high esteem in which Dr. Mellinkoff is held, it is considered by the faculty to be the highest honor of the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.

Non-CME, Hands-on Sessions Physicians Only

The hands-on sessions provide a valuable learning opportunity, though no CME credits will be issued for participants. It will feature up to eight stations demonstrating diverse endoscopy procedures, technologies and techniques using ex vivo pig stomachs and/or other available models.

Faculty with expertise in each of these areas will supervise and mentor the attendees. Each

hands-on session is limited in its number of participants. Separate registration is required and given on a first-come, first-served basis.
