Certification of Covid-19 Vaccination:

To support safely and responsibly convening at ACG’s educational programs, the College’s Board of Trustees voted that the COVID-19 vaccination be required of attendees and exhibitors on-site at our Regional Courses, until further notice. While the College sees a reasonable likelihood that we can convene safely in the current environment, ACG cannot guarantee that no one will be exposed to COVID-19. ACG will continue to monitor the highly fluid situation and will make all necessary and appropriate adjustments as our conferences approach. All attendees will be required to attest to the following statement at the time of registration:

I attest that I will be fully vaccinated for COVID-19, based on the CDC guidelines at the time of the course.

Course Description:

Join colleagues in Williamsburg for ACG’s 1-day IBD School and weekend ACG/VGS/ODSGNA Regional Postgraduate Course. ACG’s IBD School, to be held on Friday, September 9, is a day-long interactive program that features leading experts who will discuss the latest updates in IBD management. This program is designed to better enable clinical gastroenterologists and their advanced practice provider colleagues to diagnose and treat patients more efficiently.

Bring your entire practice and join colleagues at the outstanding ACG/VGS/ODSGNA Regional Postgraduate Course program, developed specifically for gastroenterologists, gastroenterology trainees, primary care physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, therapists, and other members of the GI patient care team.

Led by Course Directors Jeffrey P. LaFond, MD and Maithili Chitnavis, MD, the ACG/VGS/ODSGNA Regional Postgraduate Course, offered on Saturday and Sunday, September 10-11, will explore areas the gastroenterologist often faces in clinical practice and addresses management updates in a variety of gastrointestinal and hepatic areas. During this course, multiple areas will be covered, including upper GI and small bowel disorders, IBD, functional disorders, the microbiome, endoscopy, liver, and pancreaticobiliary. The structure of the program includes a mix of didactic presentations delivered by expert faculty, case presentations, and significant question and answer opportunities.

Step back in time and explore U.S. history in the Historic Area of Colonial Williamsburg, which is just steps from the Williamsburg Lodge, a Marriott Autograph Collection hotel. Colonial Williamsburg features more than 500 restored and reconstructed buildings set on a 300-acre historic site. As a guest of the Lodge, you will enjoy discounts on admission passes to Colonial Williamsburg’s Historic Area, free area shuttle service, preferred reservations for dining at Colonial Williamsburg taverns and restaurants, preferred reservations for the Golden Horseshoe Golf Club and the spa, access to three pools and the fitness center, and more than 40 shops within walking distance.
