This course contains recordings from the live course that took place at DDW in Washington D.C. in May of 2024.

Gastrointestinal endoscopists across the globe look to future trends, such as the conversion of GI endoscopy data into 3D images, and how this and other technologies may advance endoscopic practice that improves patient care.

Yet, how can endoscopists integrate all these technologies when the cost of procedures continues to challenge early practice adoption? How do endoscopic practices address managing larger geriatric patient populations who present with increasing co-morbidities? Also, how does one manage the ever-changing patient lifestyle where unhealthy nutritional habits continue to grow, increasing other GI disease states? ASGE’s 2024 Postgraduate Course: Leveraging New Advances to Improve Patient Outcomes is guaranteed to provide essential endoscopic resources, current research highlights and forward practice trends.

During the course, you’ll identify practice resources you can use with sessions that cover topics such as:

Pancreatobiliary disease states
