The Cedars-Sinai International Endoscopy activity will offer an intensive and comprehensive review of pancreatic and biliary endoscopy for the benefit of gastroenterologists, gastroenterology fellows and gastroenterology nurses and technicians. Invited expert faculty will perform multiple live luminal endoscopy, EUS and ERCP procedures to demonstrate techniques and technology for the benefit of participants watching the live feed. Participants will be encouraged to ask questions virtually about what they are viewing through the session moderator.

Balanced viewpoints, special techniques, and practical clinical approaches will be highlighted throughout the activity.
