In this Healio exclusive video, Anita Afzali, MD, previews the upcoming 2023 ACG Annual Scientific Meeting, which will feature a variety of “hot topics,” including the impact of virtual reality and artificial intelligence on practice today.
“This is a fabulous conference that is clinically relevant, practical and useful for all health care professionals, and specifically for our gastroenterologists and hepatologists,” Afzali, chair of the ACG educational affairs committee, said.
This year’s meeting, Oct. 20-25 in Vancouver, Canada, features both in-person and on-demand options for attendees and includes networking opportunities, a practice management summit, plenary presentations and poster sessions, and a hands-on endoscopy workshop.
Notably, presentations will cover research in colon cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, liver and obesity medicine, small bowel diseases, endoscopy and gastrointestinal bleeding, Afzali said.
Featured lecturers include Paul Y. Kwo, MD, Charles N. Bernstein, MD, Amrita Sethi, MD, and David A. Johnson, MD, who will discuss a range of topics including liver disease, the role of epidemiology in clinical practice, pancreatic cancer and the intestinal microbiome. In addition, Marcia Cross, actress and co-founder of the HPV Alliance, will speak about HPV-related cancer awareness.
Attendees also should look forward to bonus sessions that will cover “hot topics” such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence, endo-hepatology, endo-bariatrics, and nutrition and the microbiome, Afzali noted, as well as a “record number of abstracts” on critical research and science.
“I know that ACG 2023 will be filled with great science and learning and opportunities for networking and collaboration,” Afzali said. “[It is] truly a celebration of clinical and patient care advancements.”
