Description:
The Cedars- Sinai International Endoscopy symposium will offer an intensive and comprehensive review of luminal, third-space, pancreatic and biliary endoscopy, and innovations in GI endoscopy for the benefit of gastroenterologists, gastroenterology fellows, nurses and technicians.

Participants will be encouraged to ask questions about what they are viewing through the session moderators. The 2026 symposium will focus on live procedure demonstrations covering endoscopic interventions for GI mucosal lesions, biliary diseases and pancreatic tumors. Balanced viewpoints, especial techniques and practical clinical approaches will be highlighted throughout the activity.
