Course Overview
This course will focus on practical aspects of managing
dilemmas in endoscopic practice and will provide guidance on
managing both technical, as well as cognitive challenges faced
during endoscopic practice. Each section will combine didactic
presentations with pane debates about optimal approaches to
diagnosis and management of the topic under discussion. A
lunchtime case- and video-based forum will illustrate several
of these approaches. The faculty will include prominent, active
practitioners from both academic and private settings.
Intended Audience
This course has been specifically
designed for practitioners in
gastrointestinal endoscopy, especially
gastroenterologists, gastrointestinal
surgeons, gastrointestinal nurses and
fellows in training. This course is
equally relevant to those in private
practice and academic practice.
