Dear Exhibit Vendor:
The Johns Hopkins Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology will be hosting an outstanding three day CME‐accredited course April 1 - 3, 2020, on the Johns Hopkins Medical Campus in Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
The fourth annual Johns Hopkins International Therapeutic Endoscopy Course (HITEC) is an intense 2-3 day course dedicated to providing the practicing endoscopist state-of-the-art updates in luminal, pancreaticobiliary and bariatric endoscopy.
In addition to extensive live endoscopy demonstrations and keynote lectures by superstar national and international faculty, our unique format will include faculty led lunch time symposia focusing on the various aspects of therapeutic endoscopy as well as video sessions that encourage opportunities to demonstrate rare cases not typically performed during live courses in the U.S. The pancreaticobiliary endoscopy sessions will illustrate basic and advanced principles and techniques of EUS/ERCP, cholangiopancreatoscopy and interventional EUS. The luminal endoscopy sessions will focus on techniques such as Barrett’s endoscopic therapy, therapies for GERD, EMR, ESD, POEM and EUS-guided anastomosis creation. The bariatric endoscopy sessions will demonstrate primary endoscopic therapies, as well as novel techniques to manage the complications of bariatric surgery. The therapeutic endoscopy hands-on training lab offers training performed by worldrenowned experts. The nursing track will enable its learners to develop and maintain competency of emerging therapeutic procedures.
In short, this unique course featuring global endoscopists will ensure detailed and comprehensive illustration of optimal techniques to enhance endoscopic skills, while simultaneously introducing advanced and novel procedures/techniques to endoscopists.
This activity is intended for endoscopists, gastroenterologists, surgeons, gastroenterology/surgical fellows, endoscopy nurses and endoscopy technicians.
