The challenges of quality patient care and optimal patient outcomes seem to increase exponentially from year to year through a combination of increased demand and burgeoning information/treatment options relating to disease guidelines, disease management recommendations, and introduction of new pharmacotherapeutic agents and devices. The clinical gastroenterologist needs to build on his/her educational foundation regarding GI anatomy and disease states that lead to their board certification and recertification while distilling the essence of new information and integrating it into their day-to-day practice. The requirement for recertification has posed an educational challenge for board certified gastroenterologists who are trying to manage their practice with their educational needs. This program is designed for physicians studying for their recertification exam who seek to increase their comfort level with the nature of the information they will be required to know as they take the exam.
Using ACG’s second module developed under the leadership of Philip O. Katz, MD, FACG and approved for self-evaluation credit toward ABIM Maintenance of Certification, faculty comprised of gastroenterologists with expertise in selected areas will review some of the types of question topics and scientific rationale needed to achieve awareness of/command over and be prepared to answer to be successful in specific recertification component areas.
