2 Join Your Colleagues in Las Vegas for ACG 2012 The Premier GI Clinical Event of the Year! Dear Colleagues, It s time to make plans to attend ACG 2012, ACG s Annual Scientific Meeting and Postgraduate Course, the premier GI clinical event of the year. This year s meeting will be held at The Venetian in Las Vegas, October 19th-24th. Attend and you will hear both internationally known experts and rising stars in the field of gastroenterology and hepatology present the latest clinical updates on GI and liver disorders. Learn what will impact your practice in the not-so-distant future. Get the answers you seek, exchange ideas with colleagues, and get access to experts at ACG The educational program is designed with the busy GI clinician in mind. Customize your schedule and join colleagues for one or more of the Friday special interest courses, the outstanding Postgraduate Course on Saturday and Sunday, and the Annual Scientific Meeting from Monday to Wednesday. Developed by clinical gastroenterologists for gastroenterologists, ACG 2012 is designed to meet your continuing education needs. Come for some or all of the sessions and enhance your abilities as an expert gastroenterologist. ACG 2012 continues our tradition of a manageable meeting: you won t find dozens of sessions taking place at the same time, forcing you to miss a topic of interest to you. Learn more about the educational program beginning on page 9. At ACG 2012 you will find: Educational sessions that will enhance your care of patients and improve the efficiency of your practice Cutting-edge research presented by colleagues from the U.S. and abroad Networking events to allow you to connect with old colleagues and make new contacts An exhibit hall showcasing the latest advances in technology and therapeutics ACG s popular Hands-on Workshop Center is back for a third year. Located in a special area of the Exhibit Hall, leading experts will demonstrate the latest techniques to small groups of attendees using the most advanced devices and equipment. The Hands-on Workshop Center will open on Sunday, October 21st. There is no charge and attendees may register on site. Learn more on page 7. The ACG Annual Meeting remains the ONLY major GI meeting that is still offered as a free member benefit. ACG members also receive discount registration rates for the Postgraduate Course and Friday courses. One reason why the College can continue to offer this member benefit is the participation of exhibitors in the Exhibit Hall, which offsets costs for the meeting; without this support the meeting in its current form would not be possible. I encourage every attendee to visit the Exhibit Hall while at ACG 2012 to thank exhibitors for their participation. A welcome reception will be held in the Exhibit Hall on Sunday, October 21st immediately following the Postgraduate Course. Take advantage of this opportunity to mingle with colleagues, while browsing the exhibits and posters. I hope that you will join me in Las Vegas this fall. Take a couple days away from the office, recharge your mind, and reconnect with colleagues. Registration and housing for ACG 2012 are now open. I expect a record attendance so make plans early. Don t miss the fun! You can find more information beginning on page 111. Learn more about what to do and see in Vegas on page 8. Sincerely, Lawrence R. Schiller, MD, FACG ACG President 1 For more information on ACG 2012 and to register, visit acgmeetings.gi.org

10 ACG s 2012 Educational Programs Needs Assessment Clinical gastroenterology continues to experience an ever increasing array of options and advancements affecting both the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. Busy gastroenterologists must stay abreast of the diagnostic and treatment options that are available for managing their patients and effectively utilize them while maximizing quality and safety. The multi-faceted pressures of new and increasing scientific developments, pressures from payors and policymakers and demands by more knowledgeable patients mandate that gastroenterologists find ways to constantly reevaluate the diagnostic techniques and treatment modalities used and mechanisms for delivery in their practices. Declining reimbursement and an insufficient work force also remain significant challenges for gastroenterologists and their practices. As a consequence, it is important to identify more efficient ways to obtain the latest scientific knowledge and institute scientifically sound therapy so that the highest quality of patient care can be maintained. This objective, regardless of the specific practice setting, is to guarantee that each individual patient obtains the treatment and service that is the best possible option for their specific needs. The emphasis of ACG s educational efforts focuses on these advancements in diagnosis and treatment options, as well as on the policies, procedures, and guidelines gastroenterologists employ in the overall management of their practices. The CME educational program goal is to heighten the knowledge of clinicians and other health care professionals involved in GI patient care in all areas of management, with an emphasis on those conditions with increasing prevalence and those where management continues to present a challenge. Attention is also placed on advanced and improved endoscopic techniques and practice management tools that can increase gastroenterologists efficiency and effectiveness in their daily practice. The proper use of screening techniques that lead to prevention of or an early diagnosis of specific disease conditions is critical. This includes encouraging screening and surveillance for colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer among both men and women; however, colon cancer incidence rates have declined over the last two decades and survival rates have increased. This likely relates at least in part to increased colorectal cancer screening and surveillance, which allows physicians to detect and remove pre-cancerous polyps or cancers at an early stage. Although these trends are moving in a positive direction, there remains a need to increase the number of individuals being screened. In addition, new tests have been developed in recent years for the purpose of colorectal cancer screening. Providing gastroenterologists with knowledge of the most effective and efficient means to conduct the screening and surveillance of colorectal cancer continues to be very important. Furthermore, providing and quantifying indicators that define a quality colonoscopy, including prep quality and adenoma detection rates, especially in light of recent findings on the prevalence of flat lesions, is a need that affects the gastroenterologist each time a screening colonoscopy is performed. As the survival rates from these GI cancers continue to improve, the need to continue educating the gastroenterologists providing ongoing care to these patients increases. This important and evolving educational need must be met in a way that touches on the impact of various forms of cancer on the overall health and quality of life of these patients. One condition that has drastically increased in prevalence in the U.S. is obesity; from less than 15% in the 1960s to over 30% at present. It has been predicted that if the rates continue at their current pace, by 2015, 75% of adults will be overweight or obese. Therefore, not only is it imperative for gastroenterologists to be knowledgeable regarding obesity prevention and treatment options, but it is also important that they understand the importance of patient education. Patient education is a necessity to improve compliance and to achieve desired treatment results. In those patients who undergo surgery for the management of obesity, information on the post-surgical complications in bariatric surgery patients and their management has become increasingly important. These topics, as well as the latest information on what GI conditions are tied to or made worse by obesity, have been requested as areas of further education by practicing gastroenterologists. An area of gastroenterology that continues to see important developments in diagnostic and medical therapeutic options is inflammatory bowel disease. The gastroenterologist must be fully aware of the latest developments in biologic and immunomodulator therapies including safety considerations and their place in patient management. In addition, in recent years there have been many advances made in laboratory, radiographic and endoscopic modalities that directly impact on diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease and on surveillance for dysplasia in ulcerative colitis. Education regarding optimizing the use of such modalities is important to the practicing gastroenterologist. The post-surgical management of inflammatory bowel disease patients also continues to be a topic of great importance and one in which the clinician often faces challenges due to the complexity and unpredictability of the condition and the associated decisionmaking process. The gastroenterologist is frequently faced with challenges related to liver disorders including hepatitis B and C, NAFLD, hepatic encephalopathy, cirrhosis, and autoimmune liver diseases. Often, the gastroenterologist relies on the expertise of the hepatologist to assist in the management of these patients; however, with hepatologists operating at capacity, the gastroenterologist must be able to offer the best quality of care and treatment options to patients with liver disease. With the increased incidence of hepatitis C and NAFLD, practical and clinically relevant physician education is extremely important in this area. Pancreaticobiliary diseases can also be extremely challenging to manage. Gastroenterologists can offer highly specialized care for such patients including interventional endoscopic procedures. Education on the diagnosis and management of various forms of pancreaticobiliary disease including pancreatitis, pancreatic cysts, pancreatic cancer and biliary disorders is critical to obtaining the best patient outcomes. Improvements in the understanding of the pathogenesis and treatment of motility and functional GI disorders continue to progress as research in this area expands. These disorders are among the most common GI disorders in the general population. Understanding the latest science with regard to these disorders and newer treatment modalities is critical to improving clinical outcomes and quality of life for a large group of patients who have been among the most difficult to treat. Understanding the potential role of enteric microbiota and inflammation in these disorders will also help determine the appropriate course of action and play a critical role in managing these challenging conditions. Diarrheal disorders can prove to be challenging to diagnose and manage. Whether it be acute or chronic, caused by a malabsorptive condition, inflammatory or infectious process, gastroenterologists must be aware of the various potential causes of diarrhea and the most appropriate corresponding treatment options. With the incidence and severity of Clostridium difficile infections increasing in recent years, this is yet another condition that demands close attention by the gastroenterologist. GI bleeding remains one of the most common yet most challenging issues confronted by the clinical gastroenterologist. Whether the GI bleeding is related to drug therapy, stress ulceration in the intensive care unit, anticoagulation, chronic liver disease or obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, the gastroenterologist must be up to date on the latest information on strategies to prevent, diagnose and optimally treat GI bleeding. This includes providing accurate, practical information directly to patients and referring physicians. FACULTY DISCLOSURES It is the policy of the American College of Gastroenterology to ensure objectivity, balance, independence, transparency, and scientific rigor in all its sponsored educational activities. Individuals participating in the planning or implementation of a sponsored activity are required to disclose to ACG any relevant financial relationship held within the past 12 months that may pose a potential commercial bias. Conflicts of interest will be identified and resolved prior to the beginning of the activity. ACG also requires presenters to disclose to participants any uses of drugs or devices mentioned in their presentations that are off-label or investigational. EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a common condition world-wide. An understanding of its pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment options and complications is extremely important for the practicing gastroenterologist. Other upper GI conditions including Barrett s esophagus, eosinophilic esophagitis, dyspepsia, peptic ulcer disease and H. pylori also require a clear understanding. It is important that published evidence-based practice guidelines for these upper GI conditions and many other identified GI disorders be available to the gastroenterologist for their explicit understanding and to enhance their ability to most effectively manage each of their patients. Rapid technological advancements in endoscopy and other diagnostic and therapeutic areas in gastroenterology creates a need to communicate the latest techniques and strategies for dealing with everything from patients with altered anatomy to identification and removal of large and difficult polyps to the developing practice of natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery. In addition to using the same technology in a more efficient manner, new technological developments permit the gastroenterologist to observe areas of the GI tract that have not traditionally been viewable, such as the small bowel. Capsule endoscopy and other deep enteroscopy techniques allow for a more extensive evaluation of the small bowel. The development of CT colonography requires the gastroenterologist to fully understand the advantages and disadvantages of this technology as well as how to perform the procedure, interpret and act upon the findings. Gastroenterologists in a variety of practice settings need to learn and integrate these new therapies into their practice in order to provide state-of-the-art services to their patients. Finally, it is critical that gastroenterologists incorporate quality, safety and service metrics into their clinical practice. In particular, quality and safety issues in the endoscopy suite need to be addressed in order to improve patient outcomes. Other quality issues dealing with specific disease states and their management in the office practice also need to be addressed by the practicing gastroenterologist. Practice efficiency is also of great importance as the demand for increased efficiency across all settings continues to drive the search for practical tools to positively impact care delivery and patient outcomes. Through the use of evidence-based approaches for treatment and rational public health policy, clinicians need to identify new and innovative ways to deliver care across the community. The ever expanding access to information on a real-time basis by both clinicians and patients provides unique opportunities as well as challenges to the healthcare delivery system. When this is combined with the pressures associated with increased spending on healthcare in an environment that currently is trending towards decreased reimbursement and does not adequately reward the physician for spending more time with the patient, the importance of high quality continuing medical education for gastroenterologists and their patients cannot be overstated. 9

In the last decade, we have witnessed the emergence of endoscopy as a preferred therapy for preventing progression of Barrett s esophagus to cancer and management of gastrointestinal bleeding. Although we have made great strides in colon cancer prevention, incorporation of optical diagnosis, endoscopic mucosal resection and quality metrics in our practices could further enhance patient care while reducing the medical cost. Recent advances have broadened our understanding of the role for endoscopy in screening of pancreatic cancer, in the evaluation of autoimmune pancreatitis and for managing endoscopy associated complications. This course is designed to cover these other advances in the field of endoscopy. A group of world-renowned experts will use a debate format to initially focus on key points of controversy. A series of case presentations will provide the framework from which to further develop their perspective. In doing so, the speakers will rely on high quality images and videos. Use of an audience response system and roving moderators will facilitate and encourage live interaction among faculty and attendees. We are excited to also offer an Endoscopy at the Movies session and separate Endoscopy Jeopardy that are anticipated to provide lively and interactive formats to further enhance the educational experience. Intended Audience This course has been specifically designed for practitioners in gastrointestinal endoscopy, especially gastroenterologists, gastrointestinal surgeons, gastrointestinal nurses, and fellows in training. This course is equally relevant to those in private practice and academic practice. Program Objectives At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to: Identify the role of endoscopic ultrasound, endoscopic mucosal resection, and locally ablative methods in the management of Barrett s esophagus Discuss the role of glue relative to other management strategies for gastric variceal bleeding Recognize the role and value of endoscopic management of lower gastrointestinal bleeding Discuss the role of screening in pancreatic cancer detection and differentiate the value of various screening modalities Identify the key indication and approach to diagnosing and treating autoimmune pancreatitis Recognize the role of endoscopy in the causation as well and management of endoscopically induced complications Discuss the role of optical diagnosis and endoscopic resection in the management of colon polyps Identify the importance of quality metrics in gastroenterology and endoscopy and means for applying this information into one s practice Accreditation The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
