Conferences and Events
Gastroenterology and hepatology fellows and faculty at 性奴调教 participate in a variety of weekly one-hour conferences including GI grand rounds, GI fellows case conferences, journal clubs, pathophysiology, pathology, nutrition, radiology and liver cancer conferences.
GI Grand Rounds
The 性奴调教 Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology hosts weekly GI grand rounds. These educational presentations enable faculty and trainees to hear domestic and international speakers discuss relevant clinical topics while offering updated information on advances and guiding principles in medicine.
Each one-hour, CME-eligible presentation occurs 7:30-8:30 a.m. CST on Wednesdays and consists of 45 minutes of content and 15 minutes of Q&A. When speakers are in person, the presentations are hybrid, and breakfast is provided before the event. For more information, please contact Paula Zdanowicz.
Updates in Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2024
This one-day conference will be held Saturday, Dec. 7, 2024 at the 性奴调教 Education Union. This program will provide updated information based on the new guidelines and recommendations from the most current research presented at the ACG Annual Scientific Meeting and the National American Association of the Study of Liver Diseases Meeting and will go a long way towards improving patient outcomes.
2nd Annual Midwest Metabolic Clinical Symposium
Following the success of the inaugural conference earlier this year, we are excited for the Second Annual Midwest Metabolic Clinical Symposium in 2024. This event will be held Friday through Sunday, April 19-21, at the Hyatt Regency St. Louis at the Arch. The symposium is a two-and-a-half-day event where the healthcare community can gain specialty-specific insight into the multidisciplinary approach to metabolic disease. Experts from across the globe will present sessions focusing on current and emerging best practices for the management of obesity, diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, cardiovascular disease, pediatric metabolic diseases, PCOS, and the impact of these metabolic disorders on renal and COVID-19 outcomes.
All physicians see these conditions, which are often not captured or underdiagnosed. We aim to bring attention to these common disorders and the need to identify those at the highest risk early.
Frank R. Burton, M.D., Memorial Lecture Series
Frank R. Burton, M.D., was a well-regarded expert in pancreatic disease. As a faculty member of 性奴调教鈥檚 Division of Gastroenterology, he spent 25 years researching the pancreas. He was a founding member of the National Institutes of Health-funded North American Pancreatitis group and of a yearly conference aptly named PancreasFest. This memorial lecture is designed to continue his legacy of demystifying and examining pancreatic conditions and will return in 2025.
