Friday, March 27, 2020, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM, 55 Park Street Auditorium, New Haven, CT

We have been monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak and rapidly changing situation. As our top priority is to educate and promote health, we have made the decision to postpone the 27th Therapeutic ERCP/EUS Workshop scheduled on March 27, 2020. The rescheduled date is forthcoming.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and are looking forward to continuing this educational program at a time that is safe for all to attend.

Therapeutic Endoscopy is an important and continually evolving area of Gastroenterology. This unique forum enables participants to see experts utilize complex techniques to evaluate and manage pancreaticobiliary disorders.

This one-day highly interactive workshop is designed in two parts, a morning and afternoon session. The sessions will feature live cases and didactic lectures of therapeutic Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and Endoscopic Ultrasonography (EUS). In addition, the afternoon session will include an optional hands-on wire technique breakout session for RNs/technicians. It would be our pleasure to have you join us for this enjoyable day of medical collaboration and education.

1. Recognize and discuss how to manage complications associated with the procedure
2. Observe and appreciate advanced techniques for gaining access to the biliary tree and pancreas
3. Improve skills at radiological interpretation and quality image procurement
4. Review what medications are involved during endoscopy for sedation and how a patient's current medications such as anticoagulation needs to be adjusted for such cases
