5th Annual Women in Digestive Diseases: At the Forefront
Chicago, IL US
March 4, 2023
This activity aims to discuss the diagnosis, symptoms, and treatment of common gastrointestinal and liver diseases that afflict women more commonly and/or in different ways than men. This activity also aims to discuss strategic solutions to barriers that women gastroenterologists and other women healthcare professionals face in their career development. The educational information presented in this activity will add to participants’ knowledge about gastrointestinal diseases that afflict women more commonly and how to recognize and manage them. As such, it will improve their competence and performance as they apply the knowledge in their practice, which will, in turn, translate into better patient outcomes. The career development topics will help the women gastroenterologists and other women providers navigate the challenges they face in their careers, whether in private practice or academia, to find success and progress further in their chosen paths.
Target Audience
This activity is designed for physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals interested in treating women with gastrointestinal illnesses and in the career development of women providers in gastroenterology.
Learning Objectives
After this activity, participants will be able to:
- Discuss the appropriate use of imaging modalities in the diagnosis and management of GI bleeding;
- Identify high-risk patients based on family history and endoscopic findings who are appropriate for genetic testing and evaluation in high-risk gastrointestinal cancer clinics;
- State the appropriate use of emerging therapies in eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorder management;
- Determine strategies that help women healthcare professionals overcome barriers to career advancement and promote success in their chosen paths;
- Recognize barriers to fertility among female healthcare professionals, options for oocyte cryopreservation, and a common approach to infertility;
- Distinguish how to implement dietary modification recommendations that optimize women's GI health.
