Course Description:

Join colleagues in Nashville for ACG’s 1-day Functional GI & Motility Disorders School and weekend Southern Regional Postgraduate Course. ACG’s Functional GI & Motility Disorders School, to be held on Friday, December 6, is a day-long program that will review current goals of therapy and management strategies for IBS, utilizing the ACG Clinical Guideline for the Management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome as a primary resource. As part of a comprehensive approach to determining and assessing ways to improve communication, diagnosis, and management of patients with IBS, CIC, and other functional GI diseases, the Functional GI and Motility Disorders School program will have a direct impact on clinicians for the delivery of care.

Led by Course Directors Mohamad A. Eloubeidi, MD, MHS, FACG and Julia F. Massad, MD, FACG, the Southern Regional Postgraduate Course, offered on Saturday and Sunday, December 7-8, will explore areas that gastroenterologists often face in clinical practice and address management updates in a variety of gastrointestinal and hepatic areas. During this course, multiple topics will be covered including colon, IBD, case-based discussions, and expert practice pearls. The structure of the program includes a mix of didactic presentations delivered by expert faculty, case presentations, hands-on workshops, and significant question and answer opportunities.

Both programs will take place at the Renaissance Nashville Hotel, ideally located within walking distance of many of Music City’s points of interest, including Bridgestone Arena, the Ryman Auditorium, Assembly Food Hall, and more. Whether you are a sports fan, a music lover, or a foodie, there are a wide variety of things to see and do in this exciting city.
