These advances present challenges for practitioners involved in managing patients with these disorders who must stay abreast of this new information and their application in clinical practice. Specialists in the field of gastroenterology will provide useful information and wisdom that comes from varied experiences in treating GI, pancreas, and liver disorders. The latest clinical research findings and their application to clinical practice will be discussed. Topics presented will highlight the latest diagnostic techniques, management strategies, and research developments that impact the care of patients with GI, pancreas, and liver disorders. Armed with the information from this activity, gastroenterologists and primary care practitioners, providing medical care for or co-managing patients with GI, pancreas, and liver disorders, can make timely diagnostic, treatment and referral decisions in the context of patient choice and the resources within their communities. In addition, participants will be able to prepare patients for what to expect from recommended tests, consultations and recommended treatment plans. Learning Objectives Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: • Assess the latest evidence-based management for the care of patients with gastrointestinal, pancreas, and liver diseases. • Evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of therapeutic options for the management of gastrointestinal, pancreas, and liver diseases. • Review recently published literature and professional society guidelines pertaining to the evaluation and treatment of gastrointestinal, pancreas, and liver diseases. • Evaluate the latest clinical research findings for gastrointestinal, pancreas, and liver diseases management and their application into clinical practice.
