Topics chosen include the complications of reflux, colorectal and colon cancer screening.
In addition, we will offer a flexible sigmoidscopy symposium, which will include lectures on current indications and techniques. This will be followed by an afternoon workshop where we will be utilizing hands-on demonstrations using flexible sigmoidoscopes with anatomical models. All attendees will receive a CD-ROM specially designed for this course. It will contain a library of normal and abnormal pathology routinely encountered in the rectum and left colon areas. This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essentials and Standards of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education through the joint sponsorship of Georgetown University Hospital and the University of Minnesota.
