GI endoscopy never stands still. Neither can GI endoscopists, which is why ASGE brings its extended Postgraduate Course to DDW® every year, says course co-director Gregory G. Ginsberg, MD, FASGE. This year’s course — Best Practices and Emerging Paradigms — takes place on Sunday and Monday.
Functional gastrointestinal disorders have long been among the most common conditions diagnosed by gastroenterologists. A panel of three experts will discuss the current science and review best practices during Monday’s AGA Institute-Rome Foundation Lectureship, titled “Making Treatment Choices for Functional GI Disorders.”
During Sunday’s AASLD symposium “Role of Gut Microbiome in NAFLD and Progression of Fibrosis,” an expert panel of clinician-scientists will discuss recent research that is shedding light on the gut microbiome’s impact on hepatobiliary disease. Rohit Loomba, MD, shares more.
The gut microbiome is as much an organ as the liver, pancreas, intestine or any other organ along the GI tract, says Eugene B. Chang, MD, AGAF, who will moderate Monday’s AGA symposium “Microbiome Diagnostics, Prognostics and Personalized Medicine.”
Anne Marie Lennon, MD, PhD, FASGE, shares what GI innovation she finds the most promising, who inspired her to pursue a career in gastroenterology and more in this ASGE Speaker Spotlight.
AGA Attendee Spotlight Bharati Kochar, MD, MSCR, shares her favorite things about San Diego, how working in the gastroenterology field has impacted and who she’d like to be mentored by at #DDW19.
