Overview

Orlando Health’s Digestive Health Institute is pleased to invite you to the Florida Digestive Diseases Update to be held Friday to Sunday, December 1 – 3, 2023 at the JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort and Spa in beautiful Central Florida.

This symposium will include clinically relevant information within an educational environment designed for optimal learning.

The increasing pace of inventions and innovations makes mastery of knowledge a challenge when it comes to digestive disorders. But that knowledge is essential for delivering state-of-the-art care.

Through a combination of instructional presentations and interactive case-based discussions, internationally recognized faculty will provide insight into six frequently encountered clinical areas:

  • Esophagus
  • Liver Diseases
  • Functional Bowel Disorders
  • Colon
  • Pancreatology
  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Knowledge gained from attending will allow you to implement these changes and improve quality of care at your practice.

The symposium is designed for all gastroenterologists, gastroenterology fellows, primary care physicians, nurses, physician assistants and nurse practitioners interested in the latest information on diagnostic and therapeutic options for patients with gastrointestinal disorders.

The symposium will commence on the afternoon of Friday December 1st with an exclusive half-day program designed for the purpose of meeting the educational needs of nurse practitioners and physician assistants who specialize in the management of patients with digestive diseases. Advanced practice providers (APPs) are critically important members of the health care team in today’s environment and play a key role in the management of patients both in the inpatient and outpatient settings. Therefore, we are excited to launch a half-day symosium for APPs that will cover commonly encountered clinical challenges and also include self-assessment programs. This program has been designed to provide a solid foundation and framework so that APPs can seamlessly transition to learn more about the latest updates that will be presented on December 2nd and 3rd.
