Join Your Colleagues in Las Vegas for ACG 2016
The Premier GI Clinical Event of the Year!
Dear Colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to invite you to ACG 2016, ACG’s Annual Scientific Meeting and Postgraduate Course, the
premier GI clinical event of the year. This year’s meeting will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada at The Venetian. The
faculty includes internationally known experts and rising stars in the fields of gastroenterology and hepatology,
delivering the latest clinical updates on common and not-so-common GI disorders, as well as what is on the
horizon that may impact your practice. Get the answers you seek, exchange ideas with fellow colleagues, learn the
latest clinical updates, and gain insight from the experts at ACG 2016.
Developed by clinical gastroenterologists for gastroenterologists and their non-physician colleagues, ACG 2016 is
designed to meet your needs and cover the topics of most importance to you. The educational program is designed
with the busy GI clinician in mind. You can customize your schedule to attend one day for one or more of the
special Friday courses, two days for the Postgraduate Course, three days for the Annual Scientific Meeting, or a
combination of the three. Unlike other unwieldy meetings, at ACG 2016, you won’t find dozens of sessions taking
place at the same time, so you won’t miss any topics of interest to you.
At ACG 2016 you will find:
• Numerous educational sessions that will provide ways to enhance patient care and improve efficiency in
your practice
• Both CME credits and MOC points available for all of the Friday Courses, the Postgraduate Course, and
the Annual Scientific Meeting
• Cutting-edge research presented by colleagues from the U.S. and abroad
• Networking events to connect with old colleagues and make new contacts
• An exhibit hall showcasing the latest advances in technology and therapeutics
ACG’s popular Hands-on Workshop Center is back for a seventh year. Located in the Exhibit Hall, leading experts
will demonstrate the latest tools and techniques using the most advanced devices and equipment. Pre-registration
for the hands-on sessions will take place onsite in Las Vegas. The Hands-on Workshop Center will be open
beginning Sunday, October 16th. See page 12 for more information.
The ACG Annual Scientific Meeting is the ONLY major GI meeting that is still offered as a member benefit at no
extra charge. ACG members also receive discounted registration rates for the Postgraduate Course and Friday
courses. One reason the College can continue to offer this as a member benefit is the participation of exhibitors
at the meeting. Exhibitor participation in the Exhibit Hall, as well as exhibitor sponsorship and promotion, helps to
offset costs for the meeting, and without their support, the meeting in its current form would not be possible. Their
participation also allows you the opportunity to learn the latest information about their products without disrupting
your busy work schedule. I encourage every attendee to visit the Exhibit Hall while at ACG 2016, take advantage of
all that you can see and learn, and express your appreciation to exhibitors for their participation at the meeting.
The Exhibit Hall Opening Reception will be held on Sunday, October 16th, immediately following the Postgraduate
Course. This change provides an opportunity for PG Course registrants to mix and mingle with colleagues while
browsing the Hall and viewing the posters being presented.
I hope you will join me in Las Vegas, October 14th through the 19th. Take some time away from the office to be
re-energized about your profession and reconnect with colleagues. Registration and housing for ACG 2016 are now
open; see page 4 for registration information, and page 6 for housing details. Learn more about what to do while in
Las Vegas on page 7.
Sincerely,
Kenneth R. DeVault, MD, FACG
ACG President

CALENDAR FOR ACG 2016
OCTOBER 14–19, 2016
Join colleagues at ACG 2016 and enjoy Las Vegas’ world-class entertainment, fine dining, shopping, and casino
action. ACG returns to Las Vegas for the ACG 2016 Annual Scientific Meeting and Postgraduate Course, October

While in Las Vegas, plan some down time. At the end of the
day when the educational sessions are over, relax, unwind,
explore, and enjoy all the great things there are to do and
see in Las Vegas.
Entertainment for Everyone
If you are looking for entertainment, Las Vegas has dozens
of shows. There are eight Cirque du Soleil shows currently
running: The Beatles LOVE at the Mirage, Criss Angel
Believe at the Luxor, KÀ at MGM Grand, Michael Jackson
ONE at Mandalay Bay, Mystère at Treasure Island, O at
Bellagio, Zarkana at Aria, and Zumanity at New York-New
York. If comedy is more your style, you’ll find some of the
top comedians in the country playing at one of the many
comedy clubs in Las Vegas. And don’t forget to take in the
casino atmosphere, whether you are a high roller or just
want to watch some of the action taking place.
A Shopper’s Paradise
If you want to throw down some dollars away from the
casino tables, put on your walking shoes and visit one of
the numerous shopping venues in Las Vegas. Choose from
the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian, which feature
more than 80 shops, The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace

If you are more inclined towards hiking, climbing, and
horseback riding, you can find all of it plus scenic tours at
the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, which
is located just 20 miles outside the city. Trek a little further
outside the city and you can climb to the peak of Mount
Charleston at nearly 12,000 feet or whitewater raft down the
Colorado River. You’ll also find tour companies located in
Las Vegas that offer one-day trips, either by mini-coach or
helicopter, to the Grand Canyon.
Be Pampered
Has the entertainment, shopping, dining, and trekking
outdoors made you tired? Then enjoy a spa experience. Be
pampered at one of the high-end spas located in Las Vegas.
There is the famous Canyon Ranch SpaClub located in The

NEEDS ASSESSMENT
ACG 2016 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
Colon Cancer Screening
Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer among
both men and women. Colon cancer incidence rates have declined
over the last two decades and survival rates have increased. This likely
relates at least in part to increased colorectal cancer screening and surveillance, which allows physicians to detect and remove pre-cancerous
polyps or diagnose cancers at an early stage. Although these trends
are moving in a positive direction, there remains a need to increase the
number of individuals being screened.
The proper and timely use of existing as well as newer screening
tests that may lead to prevention or early diagnosis of specific disease
conditions is critical. Increasing the rate of patient participation in
colorectal cancer screening and surveillance is also important. Furthermore, providing and quantifying indicators that define a quality colonoscopy, including bowel preparation quality and adenoma detection rates,
especially in light of recent findings on the prevalence of flat lesions, is a
need that affects gastroenterologists. In addition, it is important that gastroenterologists understand the importance of grading bowel preparation
using a validated scale, and that they are familiar with recommendations
for the timing of a repeat colonoscopy in exams with inadequate bowel
preparation.
There is also a need to recognize the potential role that the gastroenterologist plays in minimizing the occurrence of interval cancers.
This includes the use of split-dose preparation in their practice as well
as the use of proper polyp resection technique. The serrated pathway,
which may account for at least 15% of all colorectal cancers, requires
gastroenterologists to understand the challenges in detection, resection,
and pathological interpretation and classification of these lesions. To aid
in surveillance of serrated polyps, gastroenterologists should be aware of
an expert panel’s recent recommendations: Guidelines for Colonoscopy
Surveillance After Screening and Polypectomy: A Consensus Update by
the US Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer. There has also
been a recent update to the surveillance guidelines that includes the
addition of recommendations for certain serrated polyps.
There is also a need to educate the gastroenterologist on the recent
published data that help support recommendations of previous versions
of surveillance guidelines. This will hopefully serve to increase physician
adherence to the guidelines. As the survival rates from these GI cancers
continue to improve, the must continue educating gastroenterologists
who provide ongoing care to these patients. This important and evolving
educational need must be met in a way that touches on the impact of
various forms of cancer on the overall health and quality of life of these
patients.
Obesity
Obesity has drastically increased in prevalence in the United States,
from less than 15% in the 1960s to over 30% at present. It has been
predicted that if the rates continue at their current pace, by 2015, 75%
of adults will be overweight or obese. Therefore, not only is it imperative
for gastroenterologists to be knowledgeable regarding obesity prevention and treatment options, but it is also important that they understand
the importance of patient education. Patient education is a necessity to
improve compliance and to achieve desired treatment results. In those
patients who undergo surgery for the management of obesity, information
on the post-surgical complications has become increasingly important.
Specifically, endoscopic techniques and management options in these
patients can be a challenge. It is essential that gastroenterologists be
familiar and up-to-date on endoscopic techniques in this challenging
group of patients. These topics, as well as the latest information on
what GI conditions are linked to or exacerbated by obesity, have been
requested as areas of further education by practicing gastroenterologists.
EDUCATIONAL
PROGRAMS
Clinical gastroenterology continues to experience an ever-increasing
array of options and advancements affecting both the diagnosis and
treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. Gastroenterologists must
stay abreast of the diagnostic and treatment options that are available
for managing their patients and effectively utilize them while maximizing
quality and safety.
The multi-faceted pressures of new and increasing scientific developments, pressures from payors and policymakers, and demands
by more knowledgeable patients mandate that gastroenterologists find
ways to constantly reevaluate the diagnostic techniques and treatment
modalities used and mechanisms for delivery in their practices. Declining reimbursement, increased demand for measurement of quality, and
an insufficient workforce also remain significant challenges for gastroenterologists and their practices. As a consequence, it is important
to identify more efficient ways to obtain the latest scientific knowledge
and institute scientifically sound therapy so that the highest quality of
patient care can be maintained. This objective, regardless of the specific
practice setting, is to guarantee that each individual patient obtains the
treatment and service that is the best possible option for their specific
needs.
The emphasis of ACG’s educational efforts focuses on these
advancements in diagnosis and treatment options, as well as on the
policies, procedures, and guidelines gastroenterologists employ in the
overall management of their practices. A primary CME educational
program goal is to heighten the knowledge of clinicians and other health
care professionals involved in GI patient care in all areas of management, with an emphasis on those conditions with increasing prevalence
and those where management continues to present a challenge. Attention is also placed on advanced and improved endoscopic techniques
and practice management tools that can increase gastroenterologists’
efficiency and effectiveness in their daily practice.
IBD
Inflammatory bowel disease is an area of gastroenterology that continues to see important developments in diagnostic and medical therapeutic options. The gastroenterologist must be fully aware of the latest
developments in biologic and immunomodulator therapies including
safety considerations and their place in patient management. In recent
years there have also been many advances made in laboratory, radiographic, and endoscopic modalities that directly impact the diagnosis
and management of inflammatory bowel disease and in the surveillance
for dysplasia in ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s colitis. Education regarding
optimizing the use of such modalities is important to the practicing gastroenterologist. The post-surgical management of inflammatory bowel
disease patients also continues to be a topic of great importance and
one in which the clinician often faces challenges due to the complexity and unpredictability of the condition and the associated decisionmaking process.
Hepatology
Gastroenterologists are frequently faced with challenges related to liver
disorders including hepatitis B and C, NAFLD, hepatic encephalopathy,
cirrhosis, and autoimmune liver diseases. Often, the gastroenterologist
relies on the expertise of the hepatologist to assist in the management
of these patients; however, with hepatologists operating at capacity,
the gastroenterologist must be able to offer the best quality of care and
treatment options to patients with liver disease. With the increased incidence of NAFLD, practical and clinically relevant physician education is
extremely important in this area.
Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C will be the most dramatically changing area of liver disease
over the next few years, and there will be two major areas that will require focus and attention. First, HCV screening recommendations have
shifted from the classic risk-based screening to an age-based screening. The CDC and USPFTS have recommended one-time screening
of all persons born between 1945 and 1965. It will be essential that
ACG and gastroenterologists educate primary care providers as well as
patients about the need for HCV screening. Secondly, there has been a
dramatic shift in the treatment of hepatitis C. Compared to the previous
treatments, the current treatment regimens are dramatically more effective and have shorter lengths of therapy, and have dramatically fewer

adverse side effects. Also, within the next 1-2 years, therapy will likely
be completely all-oral, interferon-free, and perhaps even ribavirin-free.
There will be a series of new regimens available, with new ones being
introduced at a very rapid pace. Because there will be simple and effective therapies available, there will likely be more gastroenterologists who
are willing to treat HCV. For this reason, ACG must work to educate gastroenterologists about the current and upcoming treatments. Also, with
the expected rapid development and approval of multiple regimens,
ACG must work to have a mechanism in place to allow rapid changes
and/or addendums to HCV treatment guidelines.
Pancreaticobiliary
Pancreaticobiliary diseases can also be extremely challenging to manage, and can vary greatly in complexity and severity. Gastroenterologists play an essential role in both the evaluation and the management
of patients with pancreaticobiliary disorders. Cystic neoplasms of the
pancreas are more frequently diagnosed and management guidelines
have been updated recently as our knowledge base continues to grow.
Gastroenterologist offer highly specialized care for such patients, including advanced interventional endoscopic procedures. As endoscopic
technology advances, patients are simultaneously becoming more complex, making it essential that gastroenterologists are up-to-date on these
management techniques and strategies. Education on the diagnosis and
management of various forms of pancreaticobiliary disease including
pancreatitis, pancreatic cysts, pancreatic cancer, and biliary disorders is
critical to obtaining the best patient outcomes.
Functional GI
Improvements in the understanding of the pathogenesis and treatment
of motility and functional GI disorders continue to progress as research
in this area expands. These disorders are among the most common GI
disorders in the general population. Understanding the latest science
with regard to these disorders and newer treatment modalities is critical
to improving clinical outcomes and quality of life for a large group of
patients who have been among the most difficult to treat. Understanding the potential role of enteric microbiota and inflammation in these
disorders will also help determine the appropriate course of action and
play a critical role in managing these challenging conditions.
Diarrheal disorders can prove to be challenging to diagnose and
manage. Whether it be acute or chronic, caused by a malabsorptive
condition, inflammatory, or infectious process, gastroenterologists must
be aware of the various potential causes of diarrhea and the most appropriate corresponding treatment options. With the incidence and severity
of Clostridium difficile infections increasing in recent years, this is yet
another condition that demands close attention by the gastroenterologist.
GI Bleeding
GI bleeding remains one of the most common yet most challenging
issues confronted by the clinical gastroenterologist. New anticoagulants
have been released in the last several years, and this new class of
drugs has made patients with GI bleeding even more difficult to treat.
It is critical that gastroenterologists are frequently updated on these
new medications as these patients may require different management
strategies than those who are on traditional anticoagulants. Whether the
GI bleeding is related to drug therapy, stress ulceration in the intensive
care unit, anticoagulation, chronic liver disease, or obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, the gastroenterologist must be up to date on the latest
information on strategies to prevent, diagnose, and optimally treat GI
bleeding.
GERD
Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a common condition world-wide and
affects 20% of American adults on a weekly basis. An understanding
of its pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment options, and complications
is extremely important for the practicing gastroenterologist, and new
guidelines have been published on reflux within the past year. While less
common, eosinophilic esophagitis appears to be increasing markedly
in incidence and has been the subject of intense research leading to
recent clinical guidelines. Esophageal dysmotility remains an ongoing
challenge, and this field has dramatically changed in the past several
years due to the adoption of new diagnostic modalities and an outpouring of outcomes data. This has been particularly significant for achalasia, which also has been the subject of recent consensus guidelines
within the past year. Other upper GI conditions including Barrett’s
esophagus, dyspepsia, peptic ulcer disease, and H. pylori also require
a clear understanding. It is important that published evidence-based
practice guidelines for these upper GI conditions and many other identified GI disorders be available to the gastroenterologist for their explicit
understanding and to enhance their ability to most effectively manage
each of their patients. With guidelines published on gastroesophageal
reflux disease, eosinophilic esophagitis, and achalasia within the last
year, this has been an active area and this new information needs to
be disseminated to the gastroenterology community.
Endoscopy
Rapid technological advancements in endoscopy and other diagnostic
and therapeutic areas in gastroenterology creates a need to communicate the latest techniques and strategies for managing everything from
patients with altered anatomy to identification and removal of large and
difficult polyps to developing practice of natural orifice transluminal
endoscopic surgery. Gastroenterologists in a variety of practice settings
need to learn and integrate these new therapies into their practice in order
to provide state-of-the-art services to their patients.
Quality
Finally, it is critical that gastroenterologists incorporate quality, safety,
and service metrics into their clinical practice. In particular, quality and
safety issues in the endoscopy suite need to be addressed in order to
improve patient outcomes. Other quality issues dealing with specific disease states and their management in the office practice also need to be
addressed by the practicing gastroenterologist. Practice efficiency is also
of great importance as the demand for increased efficiency across all
settings continues to drive the search for practical tools to positively impact care delivery and patient outcomes. Through the use of evidencebased approaches for treatment and rational public health policy, clinicians need to identify new and innovative ways to deliver care across the
community. Ever-expanding access to information on a real-time basis
by both clinicians and patients provides unique opportunities as well as
challenges to the healthcare delivery system. When this is combined
with the pressures associated with increased spending on healthcare
in an environment currently trending toward decreased reimbursement
and inadequate rewards for the physician who spends more time with
the patient, the importance of high-quality continuing medical education
for gastroenterologists and their patients cannot be overstated.

the volume of patients continuing to increase as the population ages, the clinical gastroenterologist is more challenged
than ever to deliver the best patient care in each situation
they encounter. Research in a multitude of gastroenterology
and hepatology areas progresses at a rapid pace. Advances
in technology, diagnostic modalities, and therapeutic options
have had a positive impact on the management of many GI
diseases. Scientific education, based on critical foundational
knowledge and clinical skills, the communication of practical
methods for treatment, and the ability to integrate the newest
tools in diagnosis with the latest therapeutic/treatment options,
are key necessities for the GI clinician to deliver top-quality
patient care. This course will provide updates on a variety of
gastroenterology and hepatology subjects including colon, IBD,
small bowel and functional disorders, endoscopic emergencies,
quality metrics in GI, obesity, pancreaticobiliary, liver disease,
esophagus and stomach, liver disease, and motility. Expert faculty will deliver scientific presentations in a variety of formats.
Didactic lectures, followed by interactive question and answer
sessions, small group learning luncheons, and a choice of
simultaneous sessions on the latest topics in GI and liver clinical care will be offered.
The program is designed primarily for clinicians in GI/hepatology, as well as physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and
other advanced practice healthcare professionals interested in
a scientifically sound approach to the management of GI and
liver illnesses.
