Postgraduate Course
Course Co-Directors: Timothy B. Gardner, MD, MS, FACG, and Renee L. Williams, MD, MHPE, FACG
Saturday, October 26 and Sunday, October 27, 2019
With the need to remain abreast of the many new and emerging advancements in the field of gastroenterology and the patient volume increasing as the population ages, the clinical gastroenterologist is challenged more than ever to deliver the best patient care. Research across gastroenterology and hepatology areas progresses at a rapid pace. Advances in technology, diagnostic modalities, and therapeutic options have had a positive impact on the management of many GI diseases. Scientific education, based on foundational knowledge and clinical skills, the communication of practical methods for treatment, and the ability to integrate the newest tools in diagnosis with the latest therapeutic/treatment options, are key necessities for the GI clinician to deliver top-quality patient care.
Self-Assessment Test:
Receive your complimentary copy of the 2019 Self-Assessment Test (SAT) when you register for the Annual Postgraduate Course. This two-volume print resource includes approximately 300 questions and answers that will test your knowledge and help you prepare for recertification. You can earn additional CME and MOC when you complete the SAT.
Accreditation/CME/MOC:
The American College of Gastroenterology is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
The American College of Gastroenterology designates this live activity for a maximum of 15 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ are awarded as follows: 13 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ for the Postgraduate Course, and 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ for each Saturday and Sunday Learning Luncheon session (Learning Luncheons must be purchased separately).
Successful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the participant to earn up to 13 MOC points in the ABIM's MOC program.
