Dear Colleagues,
 
On the behalf of the scientific Committee, it gives us immense pleasure to invite you to the Masterclass in Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Related Diseases Conference: “Exploring New Dimension of Gastroenterology & Related Specialties” to be held at InterContinental Hotel in Abu Dhabi, UAE, on 28-29 April, 2016.     
The understanding of the pathophysiology, natural history and treatment of diseases of the digestive tract and liver is progressing at a rapid pace. This program is designed to update practitioners who care for patients with digestive diseases with an in-depth knowledge of recent, cutting-edge advancements in Gastroenterology and Hepatology in order to stimulate knowledge and information among medical practitioners.
 
The two days event will bring together the foremost thought leaders and experts in Gastroenterology & Hepatology from the UAE, the region and all over the world to present data on multiple topics, including inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal neoplasia, General GI, Esophageal, motility, nutrition, pancreaticobiliary disorders, endoscopy and hepatology.
 
Controversies in diagnosis and management will be analyzed in discussions and breakout sessions. Complex endoscopy cases and cutting-edge technology will be presented by expert endoscopists in a video forum. 
 
Moreover, an important feature of this conference is its case panel discussions. One of our frequent challenges is making practical use of knowledge. Therefore, the program format will include case presentation discussion sessions with a multidisciplinary panel of experts from medical, endoscopic and surgical disciplines, discussing diagnostic and management controversies. Among areas of focus for these panels will be gastrointestinal bleeding, gastroesophageal reflux disease, acute and chronic diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease, esophageal disorders, gastrointestinal neoplasia, motility and liver disease, including liver transplantation,  hepatitis, pancreatitis, malignancy such as colorectal cancer, and many others.
 
To make this a complete scientific experience, great care is being taken to design a comprehensive program in all fields of Gastroenterology and Hepatology in consultation with a renowned faculty from the field.
 
Moreover, The meeting will offer a superb opportunity for physicians, medical specialists and all healthcare professionals to attend expert updates and to share and exchange best practices, knowledge and experiences and to network with new and established colleagues, creating and strengthening clinical collaborations.
