OVERVIEW

EBMed's Great GI Debates is a hybrid meeting combining CME and networking/mentoring activities for early career gastroenterologists and trainees. One of EBMed’s goals is to facilitate the careers of women and under-represented minorities in academic gastroenterology and a large proportion of our senior and early-career faculty fit this goal.

The CME portion of the meeting will focus on: (a) inflammatory bowel disease; (b) esophageal disorders, including acid-peptic disorders and eosinophilic esophagitis; and, (c) GI motility disorders, including irritable bowel syndrome and chronic idiopathic constipation; and, (d) GI approach to obesity management AND endoscopic innovation. Interactive formats will be emphasized with minimal traditional lectures.

Specific educational formats include:

• Debate - Two senior faculty will debate a provocative clinical question with a third senior faculty serving as judge, and a jury of 6 early-career GI faculty will vote on most persuasive presentation. [Note: Early-Career GI faculty consist of advanced GI fellows in IBD, GI motility, esophageal disorders or promising academic gastroenterologists who completed training within the past 3 years.]
• Case Presentations - Brief case/ patient presentation (HIPAA compliant) focused on specific treatment options. Presented by Early-Career Faculty to panel of senior faculty who will vote on specific management questions.
• "How I Do It" - Nationally-recognized leader discussing how she integrates clinical trial data and clinical experience when managing patients.
