ACG Governors/ASGE Best Practices Course
ACG Governors/ASGE Best Practices Course Attendees
In recognition of the tragic events recurring in Haiti as a result of the recent earthquake, the ACG and the ASGE have undertaken efforts to raise much-needed funds to support medical care on the island. To that end, we are inviting attendees of the ACG Governors/ASGE Best Practices Course to make donations, 100% of which will be passed on to the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Haiti to help support their efforts in the aftermath of this natural disaster. Both the ACG and the ASGE will be providing matching funds. As part of our initiative, course faculty have been given the opportunity to donate some or all of their speaker's honorarium to this cause. Contributions to this event are tax deductible and the ACG will provide a tax letter for all contributions.
Visit the registration desk on-site to find out how to make a donation.
All ACG Members
ACG encourages all members who could not attend the ACG Governors/ASGE Best Practices Course to make a donation directly to the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Haiti.

Incorporating Advances into Clinical Practice
Start 2010 with a comprehensive educational program which will feature live cases simulcast from the University of California Irvine Medical Center. Live cases will feature Barrett’s, Pancreas and Challenging Polyps with special topic presentations interspersed between the cases. The 2010 Best Practices Course is a 2½ day program which will feature more than 30 faculty members and focus on the latest clinical updates and how to apply updates to patient care. Additional topics include: Colon Cancer, Liver, FGID, Advances in Endoscopy, plus select topics on breakout sessions featuring Managing GI Issues During Pregnancy, Biologics in IBD: When and Which, CDAD: More Difficult Than Ever to Treat, Eosinophilic Esophagitis Update, and Common Anorectal Problems: Show and Tell. In addition, a special mini-symposium will be offered Friday evening and will focus on Practice Management issues.
Best Practices will be held Friday-Sunday, January 29-31, at The Venetian, Las Vegas. A bye-week between the football playoffs and The Super Bowl, sports fans won’t miss any of the action while attending Best Practices. The Venetian is an all-suites hotel offering the finest for the discriminating traveler. Special low meeting rates will be offered at only $189/night plus tax.
