Recommendations for COVID-19 and Other Infectious Diseases

The American College of Gastroenterology endorses evidence-based public health measures designed to prevent and minimize the spread of infectious diseases. To support safely and responsibly convening at ACG’s educational programs, the College strongly encourages all in-person attendees at its meetings to follow national and local public health recommendations. While the College has convened meetings safely in the current environment, ACG cannot guarantee that an attendee will not be exposed to infectious diseases. Anyone experiencing symptoms should refrain from in-person attendance and instead participate in those programs available through virtual access. ACG will continue to monitor the situation and make necessary and appropriate adjustments.

2024 ACG’s Hepatology School & ACG Midwest Regional Postgraduate Course

ACG’s Hepatology School is a day-long interactive educational program combining immersion in hepatology and a clinical update on new therapeutic and monitoring approaches. The program content is tailored to reflect the rapid changes in treatment options and national trends meeting the standard of care. After completing ACG’s Hepatology School, attendees will be able to summarize the current management options for HCV and HBV infections and understand the timeline of new drug development for their treatment.

The Midwest Regional Postgraduate Course will cover multiple areas including: pancreaticobiliary issues in hospitalized patients, EoE, H. pylori, cyclic vomiting syndrome and THC hyperemesis syndrome, subepithelial lesions, hepatology, colonoscopy quality and CRC screening, IBD, and obesity management. The structure of the program includes a mix of didactic presentations delivered by expert faculty, breakout sessions, case presentations, and significant Q&A opportunities.

In Pursuit of a Functional Cure for Hepatitis B: Monitoring Effectively, Optimizing Treatment, and Reducing Risk of Complications

Speakers:

Paul Kwo, MD, AGAF, FACG, FAASLD, Professor of Medicine, Director of Hepatology, Stanford University, Palo Alto, California

Nancy S. Reau, MD, Professor of Medicine, Richard B. Capps Chair of Hepatology, Chief, Section of Hepatology, Associate Director, Solid Organ Transplantation, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois

Program Overview:
Despite safe, effective vaccines and antiviral treatments, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a major global health concern, and a number of complications can arise from chronic HBV infection. Improved monitoring of disease activity in individuals with chronic HBV infection is critical for guiding appropriate treatment. In this live event from PeerView, experts explore the role of HBV serologic testing for monitoring disease, as well as evidence-based treatment of patients with chronic HBV infection in order to achieve a functional cure. In addition, they will take a look at monitoring approaches for treatment response, disease progression, and detection of liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and HCC.
