[AME]Gastroenterology and Hepatology Board Review 2023 (Videos)

Gastroenterology and Hepatology Board Review is an online video CME program covering normal function, signs, symptoms, and diseases of the gastrointestinal organs — from the esophagus and stomach to the small intestine, colon, liver, pancreas, and biliary tract.

This continuing medical education program includes 40+ one-hour lectures delivered by recognized experts with extensive clinical experience. You’ll benefit from the decision-making expertise of these skilled educators as they discuss diagnostic procedures, medical therapy, surgical therapy, and procedural therapy. Presentations combine scientific evidence and clinical judgment, culminating with recommendations for the most appropriate care and improved patient outcomes.
