Discover the latest developments in GI and Hepatology while exploring America’s past in historic Colonial Williamsburg.
Learn the latest clinical updates, incorporate the newest findings into practice, and learn practical tips from experts at the ACG/VGS/ODSGNA Regional Postgraduate Course, September 6-8, at the Williamsburg Lodge in Williamsburg, Virginia. Leading experts will present on such topics as: Gluten Sensitivity, Esophageal Motility Disorders, Advanced Imaging of the Colon, Gut Microbiome and Functional GI Disorders, Health Maintenance of the IBD Patient, Acute and Chronic Pancreatitis, Liver Masses and more. A special lunch presentation on Saturday, Preparing for the Future of GI Practice, will describe how changes in the U.S. healthcare system are affecting GI practice now and what we can expect in the near future.
Explore American history when you visit Colonial Williamsburg. Step back in time as you discover the more than 500 restored and reconstructed buildings set on over 300 acres.
The course will take place at the Williamsburg Lodge. Located just steps from Colonial Williamsburg, guests will enjoy discounts on admission passes to Colonial Williamsburg’s Historic Area, preferred reservations for dining at Colonial Williamsburg taverns and restaurants, court time at the resort tennis club, tee times at the Golden Horseshoe Golf Club, and more than 40 boutiques within walking distance.
