The practice of gastrointestinal pathology is constantly evolving. Practicing pathologists must adapt to the emergence of new diagnostic entities, an increased need for ancillary testing, and the use of advanced endoscopic techniques for treatment of early gastrointestinal neoplasia, among other challenges. Twelve international experts will provide up-to-date information on all aspects of gastrointestinal pathology. Lectures, engaging case reviews, and interactive sessions will address common diagnostic challenges, relevant and need-to-know updates, ancillary diagnostic tools, and emerging issues in GI pathology.
In-person and livestream attendee participation is encouraged via an audience response system.

The Grand Canyon in Arizona is a natural formation distinguished by layered bands of red rock, revealing millions of years of geological history in cross-section.

Much of this area is national park, with Colorado River white-water rapids and sweeping vistas.
To the south is Tucson, Arizona's second-largest city and a UNESCO City of Gastronomy and year-round outdoor playground. Enjoy the history and see how the city today unifies Hispanic, Native American and Anglo cultures.
