1st Annual USC Update in GI & Liver Diseases

Saturday, September 18, 2021, 7:00 AM - Sunday, September 19, 2021, 1:00 PM, Hyatt House - USC Health Sciences Campus


AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (12.25 hours), ABIM MOC Part 2 (12.25 hours), Non-Physician Attendance (12.25 hours)

The last few years have seen tremendous advances in the management of gastrointestinal and liver diseases. New medical therapies, personalized medicine, genetically-based treatments, and technological advances are changing how we diagnose and treat our patients. The rapid change in medical therapies, drug delivery, and endoscopic interventions has led to a knowledge gap in how we now approach and treat many of our patients with gastrointestinal and liver diseases. As a result, guidelines recommending best management practices continue to evolve. The conference will focus on updating standards of practice in the community. The conference will also focus on the obesity epidemic and how it impacts the daily practice of gastroenterology and liver disease and will provide an update cancer screening guidelines. The purpose of this conference is to bring the latest advances in these new diagnostic and therapeutics to the provider who works in community practice.

1. Integrate the newest therapies for patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
2. Identify GI and liver complications of obesity and how to manage them.
3. Assess patients at risk for GI and liver cancer and improve techniques for screening.
4. Identify patients whose symptoms are a result of dysmotility and provide them with up-to-date therapies.

The Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California designates this Live Activity activity for a maximum of 12.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.  Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
