| Meet the Professor Evening Program |
About the Program
The Division of Gastroenterology, in cooperation with the Pacific Northwest
Gastroenterology Society, invites you to join our CME accredited Meet the Professor
Evening Program. This series is an extension of our Frontiers in Gastroenterology
and Hepatology series, and accommodates practicing physicians whose schedules do not allow
attendance at a day time conference.
The Meet the Professor Evening Program occurs six times per year and is a 90 minute lecture
of rotating topics focused on the latest updates and advances in research and improvement of patient care.
The series is taught and led by Division faculty and invited local, national and international experts
in different fields. Please check the Agenda for more
details on speakers and lecture titles.
Conference activities include review and critique of published journal articles,
review of difficult or unusual problems for the practicing gastroenterologist, discussion of
complications of procedures and other adverse events, and presentations of current
research hypotheses, methods and results.
