The past, present and future meet in Williamsburg

Hear internationally known experts provide the latest clinical updates and learn how to incorporate the newest findings into patient care when you attend the ACG/VGS/ODSGNA Williamsburg Course, September 12 and 13 at the Williamsburg Lodge in Williamsburg, Virginia. Learn practical tips on such topics as: improving detection of dysplasia in Barrett’s esophagus with tools you already have, incorporating various techniques in managing flat or depressed colonic lesions, and understanding why we miss colon cancer and what we can do to minimize this outcome. Experts will also discuss C. difficile colitis and will review ways to prevent and manage recurrent disease. Get the skinny on the current strategies in managing IBD, while avoiding common errors in management. Learn take-home tips on dealing with issues affecting your practice while effectively managing the broadening scope of your practice.

New this year! On Saturday evening, enjoy an interactive session with the Virginia Masters of Gastroenterology as they field questions and challenging clinical vignettes from the audience. We encourage you to present a case. If you have one to share, please contact the Course Directors by email:
