Frontiers in Gastroenterology & Hepatology

Session Formats

The Frontiers in Gastroenterology & Hepatology Series is broken out into five session formats. For information about each week�s specific topic, speakers, and lecture titles, please see our Calendar of Events for more details:

Session I

Reviews of recently published medical literature which will address educational needs in a variety of areas, encompassing all of the organ systems in the gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary systems as well as over-arching topics. The presentations are organized by topic. There are three in-depth reviews at each session, two given by members of the faculty and one by a fellow. Published manuscripts are reviewed and critiqued by each presenter, who provides an annotated bibliography.

Session II

A presentation of cases that represent difficult or unusual problems for the practicing gastroenterologist. Each month's presentation is organized by members of the faculty based at both University-affiliated and community hospitals, clinics, and private practices. The audience consists of faculty, fellows, residents and students, drawn from throughout the Puget Sound region. There is a free-flowing discussion that draws upon the expertise and clinical experience of members of the audience. The presenters provide literature citations relevant to the cases under discussion.

Session III

Session on morbidity, mortality & management attended by gastroenterologists from the University of Washington faculty and the private practice community who have an interest in clinical gastroenterology and hepatology. Topics have a strong clinical orientation, with an emphasis on evidence-based decision making.

Session IV

Session on interventional and advanced diagnostic methods of gastrointestinal endoscopy, as applied to real-life cases. Cases are presented to faculty from the Division of Gastroenterology and from the Department of Radiology. Topics will have a strong clinical orientation relevant to the techniques of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic ultrasound.

Session V

Session presented by a visiting lecturer. Frontiers in Gastroenterology & Hepatology will invite experts from other Universities to lecture on subjects of their expertise, particularly if these topics have not been presented by members of our extended faculty. Under these circumstances, we will invite the principal investigator or primary author to describe his or her original work. There is an opportunity for interchange with the visiting expert at the time of the lecture and in small group seminars following the lecture.
