Gastroenterology Participant Experience
Ranked among the highest-rated Harvard Medical School CME courses, past participants consistently report that this program has inspired and improved their clinical practice.
Here is a sampling of comments from recent attendees:
"This course led me to improve navigation of the complex IBD milieu; increase awareness for workup of MASLD patients; and implement the revised H. pylori treatment recommendations."
"Areas of practice impact from this course: Ordering MRI with elastography as a way to get more info as general GI PA instead of taking time to refer to hepatology for fibroscan; pancreatic cancer screening guidelines; increased incidence of gastric cancer in FAP; and mirtazapine for gastroparesis."
"I learned about newer treatments that I was unaware of, such as the newer PBC treatments."
"Terrific IBD presentation allowing me to integrate additional biologic options into treatment. Hepatology topics were well thought out for clinical practice."
"This course has changed my practice in regard to using NAC with steroid for severe AH; low-acid diet for h. pylori; options for gastroparesis treatment based on primary symptoms."
"As a primary care physician ... I will use the risk stratification model and the ASGE guidelines on ASA as well as the information on the P2Y12 inhibitors and warfarin to provide my patients with the most up to date and accurate recommendations on how to manage their anticoagulation prior to their endoscopic procedures."
"I am now more comfortable discussing the role of testing in advanced liver disease and C. difficile as well as the current recommendation in regard to pre/probiotic use."
"I especially enjoyed the Q&A sessions that allowed me to get expert consultation on my own patient management questions."
"As a pathologist, I now better understand management of patients with all kinds of GI disorders ranging from IBD, chronic biliary disorders, chronic hepatitis, EoE, celiac disease, H. pylori gastritis, etc."
"I am a general internist. I learned new topics and have gotten a more in depth understanding about diagnoses and treatments of various GI disorders like H pylori infection, c diff, MASLD, CRC screening."
"As QAPI director of our endoscopy center, I will implement all of the measures discussed. This course has enabled me to have a better understanding of the role of all biologics in the care of IBD patients. I am more comfortable trying certain SSRIs and other medications for IBS /gastroparesis. More knowledgeable about ICI, genetics, and gut microbiome."
"Excellent course. I appreciate the updates/changes since the last time I did the course. This is my third time and I will definitely do it again."
