4th Annual Mayo Clinic Esophageal Diseases Course 2016
Course Director: Prasad G. Iyer, M.D.
Course Co-Directors: David A. Katzka, M.D., Francisco C. Ramirez, M.D., Herbert C. Wolfsen, M.D.
Esophageal disease is a rapidly-developing area marked by significant advances in diagnosis, therapy and identification of new diseases. In this continuing medical education activity, a comprehensive approach will be taken to explore these exciting advancements including high-resolution manometry and impedance monitoring, new techniques in endoscopic detection and treatment of Barrett’s esophagus, and insights into new diseases such as eosinophilic esophagitis.
A special feature of this program is a hands-on workshop for interpretation and performance of motility studies, new endoscopic imaging techniques, endoscopic mucosal resection and ablation, and transnasal endoscopy. Participants will rotate through the following stations:
- EMR Cap
- EMR Ligation
- Radiofrequency Ablation
- Endoscopic Closure of Esophageal Perforations: Clips (through scope and over the scope) and Stents
- Esophageal Laboratory Testing: Reading Ambulatory pH tests and Esophageal Manometry
- Transnasal Endoscopy
Registration Fees
Full Fee: M.D., D.O., Scientists | $625.00 | |
| Reduced Fee: Resident, Fellow, NP, PA, Retiree, Allied Health Professional | $525.00 |
