80063435 - 42nd Annual Medical and Surgical Gastroenterology: A Multidisciplinary Approach

Sunday, January 26, 2025, 2:00 PM - Thursday, January 30, 2025, 7:00 PM, The Pines Lodge, Beaver Creek, Colorado, Beaver Creek, CO


We continue to see great advances in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal and liver disease. Therapy continues to evolve in multiple directions. There are constantly new medications being approved for inflammatory bowel disease. The line is also blurring between the traditional realms of endoscopy and surgery. We are now seeing novel endoscopic approaches for the treatment of GERD, Barrett’s esophagus, and acute pancreatitis. To maintain their practices, gastroenterologists and surgeons need to stay up to date on a wide range of topics including approach to resecting the difficult polyp, understanding the best approach to withdrawing therapy in IBD, as well as for management of ischemic colitis, and an update on management of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASLD); yet formal education in these areas is limited. It is difficult for practicing physicians and surgeons to stay abreast of these new advances. This year we pay special emphasis on inflammatory bowel disease with a whole day dedicated to the topic, including the addition of two distinguished outside speakers. Please join us for the Medical and Surgical Gastroenterology – A Multidisciplinary Approach - this is the 42nd year for the course!
