IS IT MEDICALLY NECESSARY TO DE-PRESCRIBE PPIS?: YES

Society: AGA

This annual session will provide DDW attendees the opportunity to hear opposing viewpoints from leading GI experts on the most challenging issues in clinical gastroenterology and hepatology, in a debate format. This 90-minute symposium will feature 3 debates among "heavyweight" faculty who will provide greater clarity as to how we can apply best evidence to clinical decision-making for these challenging topics. Debates focus on recently published AGA Clinical Practice Updates, which are evidence-based reviews and commentaries that address evolving areas of clinical practice and/or technology. These documents address topics of very high clinical importance, and are published in AGA's flagship journals Gastroenterology and CGH.
