Product Overview & Details for Harvard GI Motility & Brain-Gut Disorders: Evidence Vs Consensus – Harvard GI Motility Course 2024
Videos Lectures +SLides
GI motility and brain-gut disorders are extremely common and can be a challenging part of primary and subspecialty care. New diagnostic techniques and therapies are constantly being developed, and their roles continue to evolve. As many controversies in management exist, the goal for the course in Neurogastroenterology and Motility at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, accredited by Harvard Medical School, is to incorporate both evidence-based and expert observation in order to help clinicians develop strategies to address these disorders in practice. This intense, one-day course is comprised of two parts: a morning session with case-based panel discussions and mini-lectures, and an afternoon practical session.
The practical session will also feature breakout classes dedicated to advanced practice providers and to behavioral and psychological therapies for GI disorders. Both sessions will offer interactive learning formats. Overall, the aim for this course is to help participants evaluate, treat, and manage patients with esophageal conditions including problems with swallowing and acid reflux disorders. We also hope to help participants develop new strategies to effectively manage gastric and colonic motility and function diseases. Our goal is that participants gain confidence using current and emerging diagnostic testing and therapies and enhance their ability to interpret clinically available GI motility tests through workshops and small group sessions.
