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. It is important that you make your hotel reservations early as a limited number of rooms are available and are offered on a first-come, first-serve basis. See more information on The Venetian under the Accommodations section of the course brochure.
