Join Your Colleagues in Philadelphia for ACG 2014
The Premier GI Clinical Event of the Year!
Dear Colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to invite you to ACG 2014, ACG’s Annual Scientific Meeting and Postgraduate Course,
the premier GI clinical event of the year. This year’s meeting will be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the
Pennsylvania Convention Center. The faculty includes internationally known experts and rising stars in the field
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 2014.
Developed by clinical gastroenterologists for gastroenterologists and their non-physician colleagues, ACG 2014 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 2014, 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 2014 you will find:
• Numerous educational sessions that will provide ways to enhance patient care and
improve efficiency in your practice
• Earn MOC points at the Recertification Preparation & Update Course
• 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
New for the Annual Postgraduate Course is PG+MOC, a 10 point maintenance of certification module that
Postgraduate Course attendees can purchase. More information about PG+MOC and how to access the module
can be found on page 19.
ACG’s popular Hands-on Workshop Center is back for a fifth 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 Philadelphia. The Hands-on Workshop Center will be open
beginning Sunday, October 19th. See page 7 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 2014, 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 19th, 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 Philadelphia, October 17th through the 22nd. Take a couple of days away from the office
to be re-energized about your profession and reconnect with colleagues. Registration and housing for ACG 2014
are now open. You can find more information beginning on page 120. Learn more about what to do and see in
Philadelphia on page 130.
Sincerely,
Harry E. Sarles, Jr., MD, FACG
ACG President
P.S. Follow ACG on Twitter and Facebook. Members can join discussions
online at the GI Circle, ACG Hepatitis Circle, and the ACG & CCFA IBD Circle.

ACG’s 2014 Educational Programs — Needs Assessment
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.
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.
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.
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 decision-making process.
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 U.S. 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
For more information on ACG 2014 and to register, visit www.acgmeetings.gi.org.
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.
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.
EDUCATIONAL
PROGRAMS
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

for ACG members; $99 for non-members). Participants will be
contacted no later than October 1 regarding how to purchase
the required module. Attendees enrolled in the ABIM’s MOC
program who successfully complete this 60-question ACG module
with a minimum passing score of 70% will be awarded 20 selfevaluation of medical knowledge points by ABIM. Participants
must be enrolled in ABIM’s Maintenance of Certification program
to receive MOC credit for completion of this module.
Course Description
The challenges of quality patient care and optimal patient
outcomes seem to increase exponentially from year to year
through a combination of increased demand and burgeoning
information/treatment options relating to disease guidelines,
disease management recommendations, and the introduction
of new pharmacotherapeutic agents and devices. The clinical
gastroenterologist needs to build on his or her educational
foundation regarding GI anatomy and disease states that lead
to their board certification and recertification while distilling the
essence of new information and integrating it into their dayto-day practice. The requirement for recertification has posed
an educational challenge for board-certified gastroenterologists
who are trying to balance the management of their practice
with their educational needs. The primary purpose of the ACG
Recertification Course is to facilitate completion of an ABIMapproved medical knowledge module, developed by ACG.
Attendees will be provided a copy of the module questions for
note-taking purposes. All additional educational materials for the
program are provided through the online module — detailed
written explanations, linked references, and videos of expert
discussions and slides from the course.
Please note: In addition to Recertification Course
registration, separate purchase of ACG’s module
is also required. See paragraph above.
For a list of all of the ACG modules approved for MOC credit,
visit www.sapmoc.gi.org.
Using a new ACG module approved for self-evaluation of medical
knowledge credit toward ABIM Maintenance of Certification
(MOC), faculty will answer and discuss all 60 questions
covering key areas of gastroenterology; audience participation is
encouraged. The cases and questions will be presented and the
answer options will be described. Course attendees will utilize an
audience response system to choose which option they believe to
be the correct answer, and these anonymous responses will be
shown. The faculty member will then identify the correct answer,
provide the basis for the selection and explain why the other
options were incorrect. Participants will be able to complete their
answer sheets for this module during the session.

POSTGRADUATE
COURSE
course available on
With the ever-increasing demands to
remain abreast of the many new and
emerging advancements in the field
of gastroenterology and 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 continues to progress
at a rapid pace. The outcome of advances in technology,
diagnostic modalities, and therapeutic options has had a
positive impact on the management of many GI diseases,
and this impact can be expected to grow as we move into
the future. 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
esophagus, colon, biliary disease, endoscopy, GI bleeding,
GI emergencies, pancreas, genetic disorder, inflammatory
bowel disease, diarrheal illnesses, functional GI disorders, and
hepatology. 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.

Program Description
Returning this year is the Endoscopy Video Forum, “Live
from Philly! The 2nd Annual Endoscopy Video Forum.” The
Forum will feature the best video presentations submitted
from colleagues from across the U.S. and around the world.
Submitted during ACG’s Call for Abstracts and peer-reviewed
and selected for presentation, the cases will feature endoscopy
techniques, challenging or unique cases, and cases in the area
of GI endoscopy. During the session, the audience, along with
the Moderators, will vote to select the best video of ACG 2014.
The field of gastroenterology and hepatology continues to
see advancements in multiple areas relating to diagnostic
measures, therapeutic options and technology. In order to
provide appropriate and top-quality patient care, the clinician is
challenged to stay abreast of the changes and advancements
affecting the management of many gastrointestinal and liver
disease states. Throughout the three-day Annual Meeting, you
will be exposed to updates in a variety of topics, including
biologic therapy in IBD, hepatitis C, acute and chronic
pancreatitis, IBS, colonoscopy, the refractory esophageal patient,
case studies in IBD management, the inpatient hepatology
consult, the human microbiome, and more.
The Annual Scientific Meeting program is designed primarily
for physicians in gastroenterology and hepatology, as well as
physician assistants, nurse practitioners and other advanced
practice healthcare professionals interested in the latest
information on state-of-the-art treatment of these illnesses.
Eleven scientific plenary symposia will allow attendees to
hear lecture presentations from experts and to participate in
interactive question and answer sessions with the faculty. In
addition, 17 optional scientific breakfast sessions will be offered,
where a smaller setting allows for heightened interaction with the
speakers and greater audience involvement.
Accreditation
The American College of Gastroenterology is accredited by
the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education
to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
Many sessions will use expert panel discussions in debate and
case-based formats.
The American College of Gastroenterology designates this live
activity for a maximum of 16.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.
Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the
extent of their participation in the activity.

Philadelphia – The Birthplace of
Our Nation and Host City for ACG 2014
Few cities in the U.S. hold as much historical significance as
Philadelphia, which is one of the reasons ACG has chosen
it as the host city for ACG 2014. Most Americans know
Philadelphia as the birthplace of our nation, or as home
of the Liberty Bell, Ben Franklin, and the nickname “The
City of Brotherly Love.” Some may also remember it as the
setting to the movie “Rocky,” where Rocky raised his arms
in triumph after running to the top of the famous steps of
the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Still others may think of
Love Park and the famous “LOVE” statue that has been
immortalized on postage stamps, while some recognize the
city’s passion for its sports teams, like thede Philadelphia
Eagles, the 76ers, and the Phillies. Situated on the banks
of the Delaware River, this historically important city is a
thriving, ethnically diverse metropolis that offers something
for every visitor. Attend ACG 2014 to experience the
excitement of Philadelphia.
