Featuring Expert Visiting Faculty: Greg Haber, MD and Cyrus Piraka, MD

University of Chicago’s Center for Endoscopic Research and Therapeutics (CERT) group is a nationally recognized interventional gastroenterology group dedicated to evaluating and treating difficult gastrointestinal diseases through advanced endoscopic technologies. This course will highlight advanced endoscopic skills in ERCP, cholangioscopy, and EUS in the management of biliary diseases. This includes topics such as biliary cannulation, difficult bile duct stones, cancers of the pancreas and bile ducts, complications related to acute and chronic pancreatitis and prevention of adverse events related to ERCP. Faculty will present the latest information on biliary endoscopy using a variety of traditional formats, including lectures, panel discussions, interactive video forum, and Q&A. Endoscopic skills can then be enhanced during a hands-on workshop with expert faculty. Balanced viewpoints, special techniques and practical clinical approaches will be highlighted throughout the program.
