2013 UC Davis Update in Gastroenterology and Hepatology

This conference is knowledge based and designed to change physician competence. We have identified opportunities for education about a broad range of gastroenterology and hepatology digestive disease topics based on feedback from past participants and physician needs assessment surveys. Topics identified included the diagnosis and management of chronic hepatitis C, cirrhosis, IBS, chronic constipation, Diverticulitis, Celiac Disease, Clostridium difficile infection, Barrett’s Esophagus, GERD and Helicobacter Pylori. This symposium is part of a strategy to address these educational needs and improve the health of all patients with digestive diseases.

This year’s 2 day conference will specifically address these identified educational needs and provide practitioners with state-of-the-art tools to improve treatment options for their patients. Faculty presenting and interacting with participants at this activity have been selected on the basis of their comprehensive clinical experience and academic excellence. Our physicians routinely provide consultation and education to primary caregivers based on the direct experience of the gastroenterology faculty at UC Davis Medical Center.
