Overview
The Cedars- Sinai International Endoscopy symposium will offer an intensive and comprehensive review of luminal, third-space, pancreatic and biliary endoscopy for the benefit of gastroenterologists, gastroenterology fellows, nurses and technicians. Invited expert faculty will deliver didactic lectures covering the various endoscopic interventions and pancreatic and biliary conditions. Those experts will also perform multiple live luminal endoscopy, EUS and ERCP procedures to demonstrate techniques and technology for the benefit of participants watching the live feed. Participants will be encouraged to ask questions about what they are viewing through the session moderators. The 2025 symposium will focus on live procedure demonstrations covering endoscopic interventions for GI mucosal lesions, biliary diseases and pancreatic tumors. Balanced viewpoints, especial techniques and practical clinical approaches will be highlighted throughout the activity.
Objectives

Recognize patient- and procedure-related risk factors associated with ERCP and implement evidence-based patient safety measures to optimize outcomes
Critically evaluate complex and challenging ERCP cases and discuss optimal approaches to patient management and avoiding complications
Assess endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool for managing patients with gastrointestinal, pancreaticobiliary and hepatic diseases
Distinguish and select the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment approach for patients with luminal gastrointestinal issues
Assess current and emerging diagnostic and therapeutic techniques in GI endoscopy and how best to implement best practices in the endoscopy suite
Identify current surgical and medical treatment and management strategies for the patient with pancreatic cancer
