*** The 2010 Conference will be Saturday, April 10th, 2010 ***
On April 25th, 2009, we hosted our first, and hopefully annual, GI Update for Primary Care Clinicians Conference at The Club at Flying Horse. Over 100 primary care providers participated, including physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants along with many clinical nurses and endoscopy staff.
We appreciate the time and feedback of all who attended. The input from this past year will hopefully allow us to continue to improve the course in coming years.
Below is the course listing from this past year's conference.
