Evidence-Based Reflux Management Strategies - June 21, 2022
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) affects as much as a third of western populations. Proton pump inhibitors, the initial therapy for typical symptoms, fail in up to 40% of patients. The management of these nonresponders poses significant challenges clinically and, when patients remain symptomatic for many years, delays in treatment can increase costs and worsen outcomes. This course will review the modern diagnostic and treatment strategies for patients presenting with both typical (heartburn, regurgitation, chest pain) and atypical (cough, hoarseness, choking) symptoms.

Cerebrovascular Symposium 2022: Innovations in the Management of Complex Cerebrovascular Disease - August 25, 2022
According to the CDC, cerebrovascular disease is the most common life-threatening neurological event in the United States with stroke being one of the leading causes of serious long-term disability. An estimated 30,000 people experience a ruptured cerebral aneurysm, and arteriovenous malformations (AVMS) present in about 1 percent of the general population. Risk of complications from unique cerebrovascular diseases, like arteriovenous fistula (DACF) and mycotic aneurysms, can be decreased by transdisciplinary training to recognize emergent cases, identifying possible interventions, and refer care.
