Given the challenging realities of patient management for obesity and metabolic disorders, with its intensive evaluation and consultation requirements, the College aims to help GI and hepatology practices coordinate care effectively, promote adherence to therapy, and ultimately optimize patient outcomes.

Attendees will have the opportunity to expand their knowledge on a variety of important GI topics, learn about emerging diagnostic and therapeutic innovations, and gain valuable insights into strategies for preventing workplace injuries in the GI setting.
