11th Annual Exploring Frontiers in the Management of Digestive and Liver Disorders – February 20, 2026
Several new surgical, endoscopic and pharmacological approaches to the management of digestive disorders have become available, yet their exact role in the management of these disorders is unclear. Providers need to recognize the range of therapeutic and diagnostic options that are now available for the management of digestive disorders and their clinical applications. This course will address the challenge of defining the role of new technologies, disease entities and therapies in everyday clinical practice by presenting the latest evidence-based information on diagnostics and therapeutics in digestive disorders.
Target Audience
Physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, residents/fellows, students, and researchers in gastroenterology, GI surgery, colorectal surgery, internal medicine and hepatology will benefit from this course.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, the participant should be able to:
- Discuss the risks and management of common GI disorders
- Review the latest updates in GI Cancer
- Describe the endoscopic management of GI disorders.
- Discuss robotic strategies in the management of GI disorders.
- Review the latest innovations in GI surgery.
