ACG/FGS Annual Spring Symposium: 13 CME Credits, 13 MOC Credits

Course Description:

Join us at the ACG/FGS Annual Spring Symposium, March 11-13, 2022, at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point In Naples, Florida.

Join your colleagues in the beautiful Naples area of Florida for a program designed to fill your mornings with the latest clinical updates while keeping your afternoons free to explore and enjoy the many amenities the area has to offer. Daily sessions wrap up by 1:00 pm, giving you plenty of opportunity to reflect, relax, and unwind. Nationally-recognized expert faculty will provide insight and a deeper understanding into these areas through a combination of didactic presentations and interactive discussions, including opportunities for one-on-one interaction with speakers. Attendees will leave the program ready to immediately implement the knowledge gained to improve their clinical practice. This program is designed for gastroenterologists, gastroenterology trainees, primary care physicians, nurses, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners interested in the latest information on diagnostic GI and state-of-the-art treatment of GI illnesses.

While at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point, relax at the largest pool in Southwest Florida, and enjoy three acres of water attractions including a lazy river, family friendly pools, slides, and waterfalls, as well as an adult pool and hot tubs. If golf is your game, you can test your skills at the hotel’s Raptor Bay Golf Club – the first Audubon Society certified course in the country.

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 have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19 (individuals are considered “fully vaccinated” two weeks after completing the second dose of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine, or two weeks after receiving a single dose of a one-dose vaccine).
