Calling all physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, registered nurses, and pharmacists on the gastroenterology, primary care, oncology, and medical staff teams to come spend the day with us. Each lecture will be followed by a Q&A and a panel discussion where the learners will have the opportunity to work in small groups for case-based discussions.
