This course will increase your advanced therapeutic gastrointestinal (GI) procedure knowledge for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)access, endoscopic ultrasound fine needle biopsy (EUS-FNB), and GI bleed management through didactic and hands-on educational activities at multiple simulated model stations. Experienced physicians share their hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) and bleed management expertise through case-based discussion providing practical, real-world perspectives. A unique component will be an open-panel discussions with the faculty, concluding with an anything-goes Q&A. This medical device course is designed for GI fellows who want to learn more about ERCP access, EUS, and GI bleed management, including detection and treatment.
