12th Annual UCLA-Mellinkoff Gastroenterology and Hepatology Symposium

Overview

Live, virtual and in-person conference. The 12th Annual UCLA-Mellinkoff Gastroenterology and Hepatology Symposium is designed to offer healthcare professionals evidence-based and integrative approaches to treat common GI disorders that can easily be implemented into practice and have significant impact on patient outcomes. An endoscopy forum with video and live cases will also show complex cases and new technology. New to the program is an in-person workshop with visual and interactive methods to teach the process of patient-centered care to improve communication skills, patient-provider relationship, and patient satisfaction. Interactive, case-based presentations and panel discussions by experts in their field will engage attendees and enhance this learning experience.
