	2017 Update in Gastroenterology and Hepatology for the Primary Care Practitioner

Activity Details
Activity Name:	2017 Update in Gastroenterology and Hepatology for the Primary Care Practitioner
Needs Assessment:	This conference is knowledge based and designed to change physician competence. We have identified opportunities for education about a broad range of gastroenterology and hepatology digestive disease topics based on feedback from past participants and physician needs assessment surveys. The conference will offer didactics, interactive Q & A sessions as well as optional roundtable discussion opportunities. Topics identified include the diagnosis and management of chronic constipation, IBS, GERD, fatty liver disease, hepatitis B & C infections, and screening for colon cancer and liver disease. This symposium is part of a strategy to address these educational needs and improve the health of all patients with digestive diseases. This year?s conference will specifically address these identified educational needs and provide practitioners with state-of-the-art tools to improve treatment options for their patients. Faculty presenting and interacting with participants at this activity have been selected on the basis of their comprehensive clinical experience and academic excellence.
Course Objectives:	At the end of the activity, participants should be able to: Discuss current treatments, management and prevention options for hepatitis B & C and how they can be applied to primary care settings and improving patient outcomes. Describe the latest screening and surveillance guidelines for colon cancer. Evaluate and treat the patient who presents with IBS.
