GI for GPs is an annual course offering an exciting gastroenterology educational program for Alberta’s family practitioners. For over 20 years, Gastroenterologists from the University of Alberta and other sites in Edmonton have developed and taught the Course with the goal of enabling Family Practitioners to better serve their patient populations, and to bridge the relationship between these medical specialties.
The 2024 Course builds on this tradition. You’ll hear updates on cutting edge developments in Gastroenterology and receive practical tools and advice on topics relevant to today’s Family Practitioner. Small group workshops have always been the backbone of our program, and these will continue for 2024 course.
