This Penn State Health gastroenterology and hepatology conference aims to bring together clinicians and other health care providers for clinical updates on current trends in the management of various clinical conditions. In addition, it will help foster discussion and review current concepts in clinical and translational research. Upon completion of this program, course participants should demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of important conditions in gastroenterology, including inflammatory bowel disease, colon and rectal surgery in gastrointestinal diseases, including colorectal cancer management, cirrhosis/liver transplant, management of fatty liver, eosinophilic esophagitis, fecal incontinence and gastroparesis.

The Carlino Family Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Center team leads the nation with a long-standing commitment to cutting-edge IBD research, including the establishment of the nation’s largest IBD BioBank and registry of IBD patients, including DNA, blood, and tissue samples from multiple generations of IBD patients. The Carlino Family IBD Fund has provided financial support for research presented by investigators associated with the Center.
