Overview:
The Cedars-Sinai International Endoscopy virtual activity will offer an intensive and comprehensive review of pancreatic and biliary endoscopy for the benefit of gastroenterologists, gastroenterology fellows and gastroenterology nurses and technicians. Invited expert faculty will perform multiple live luminal endoscopy, EUS and ERCP procedures to demonstrate techniques and technology for the benefit of participants watching the live feed. Participants will be encouraged to ask questions virtually about what they are viewing through the session moderator. The 2021 virtual activity will focus on live procedure demonstrations covering endoscopic interventions for IBD and esophageal conditions, innovations in endoscopy and endoscopic closure, stapling content and multiple live ERCP and EUS demonstrations. Balanced viewpoints, special techniques, and practical clinical approaches will be highlighted throughout the activity.
