5th Annual Acing the GI Exam: The Ultimate Crunch-Time Course

Saturday, September 14, 2019, 7:30 AM - Sunday, September 15, 2019, 12:45 PM PST, Harvey Morse Conference Center, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center


This interactive, didactic experience serves as a review to aid the clinical practice for gastroenterologists, hepatologists, advanced practice providers and gastroenterology fellows to aid in patient management, including virtually all aspects of clinical gastroenterology, hepatology and endoscopy. This course has also been developed to meet the educational needs of practicing gastroenterologists and GI fellows who wish to test their knowledge of specific GI topics in preparation for earning points toward the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program, or who simply want to improve their knowledge of gastrointestinal diseases and disorders to enhance the quality of their practice. The course will follow the blueprint developed by the American Board of Internal Medicine. Each content category esophagus, stomach/duodenum, liver, biliary tract, pancreas, small intestine and colon  will explore anatomy, development and function/physiology; symptoms/clinical presentation; and the diseases and disorders in each. This will include the use of endoscopy, including colonoscopy, ERCP and EUS. Participants will have the option of earning up to 10 MOC points with successful completion of a self-assessment module. A distinguishing feature of this conference is the fact that the course content is delivered over the course of only one and a half days. The course directors for this conference recognize that long and detailed discussions that are not directly relevant to board and re-certification exams should be eliminated. Conversely, many board review manuals provide lists and bullet points that lack sufficient background and context. To address the needs of busy gastroenterologists, this conference will present high-yield information in the most rational, relevant and contextually appropriate format. This is a time-tested approach that has led to wide dissemination and success of the speakers own textbook series, which serves as a blueprint for this educational offering. This course also serves as an intense review of gastroenterology and hepatology to enhance the clinical practice of all GI providers.

1. Identify risk factors for and apply strategies to prevent gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary disorders
2. Retain and apply clinical “pearls” to diagnose complex GI disorders and identify and integrate therapeutic options based on pathophysiology, classification, guidelines and best clinical practice recommendations
3. Demonstrate competence in certification and recertification exams in gastroenterology as required by the American Board of Internal Medicine
