This session includes audience response. Visit gastro.cnf.io during the scheduled session time to participate. The field of gastroenterology is ever evolving, and the necessary training for a successful career in gastroenterology needs to evolve. The content, delivery, and oversight of fellowship training should be critically evaluated to best suite the needs of 2025 and beyond. This session will present three lively debates on timely issues within medical education with the hope to provoke thought, stimulate conversation, and ultimately generate ideas to improve the training of the future.

LIVE STREAM SESSION This session will help attendees deepen their knowledge and improve their competency in recognizing and treating important anorectal issues in their patients beyond anal fissures, pelvic floor dysfunction and hemorrhoids. For too long, Gastroenterology education has glossed over the anus and anal diseases and deferred the management to various other specialists. After attending this symposium, you will walk away feeling more confident in your understanding of this area of the GI tract. Attendees will learn how to incorporate SGM diversity training into their teaching programs and their clinical practice and learn how to take a culturally appropriate history and physical exam of the anorectum.

This would be a session focused on introducing applications of technology like augmented reality, virtual reality, smartphone applications and artificial intelligence in GI education. Specifically, these technologies can have a useful role in the initial part of training GI fellows VR serves as a relatively low cost and adaptable way to provide a realistic environment in which to practice endoscopy prior to doing so on a patient. As a trainee advances, augmented reality can be used to provide remote mentoring and real time feedback on technique. Additionally augmented reality can serve to deliver information to interpret endoscopy findings in real time (through access to data repositories); smartphone applications can also bolster quick access to high yield information on endoscopy and GI consult management. In a somewhat separate but important application, these technologies can be used to introduce meditation and other relaxation techniques in a quick and accessible way to assist with burnout for GI fellows. Lastly, with the advent of AI in endoscopy we have the opportunity to leverage this technology to advance our current approach to endoscopy education.

Gastroenterology is one of the highest anticipated shortages among medical subspecialties in the coming years. The reasons are multifaceted: retirement of existing practicing physicians, an aging population with a higher life expectancy, and limited training of new gastroenterologists in the setting of increasing patient demand. This Clinical Symposium will discuss these challenges and provide tangible methods in which to mitigate this issue, namely retention and recruitment efforts for early, mid, and late career gastroenterologists.

Digestive oncology offers challenges of enormous interest to basic and clinical researchers in Eastern and Western countries. This session dedicated to neoplasms of the digestive system will provide updated knowledge from the basic and clinical area about different gastroenterological cancers with the aim of having clear concepts for the management of patients suffering from these pathologies. This session is co-sponsored by the Korean Society of Gastroenterology (KSG).

This session will focus on the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis from three perspectives: translational, clinical and population medicine. Renowned experts in pancreatic diseases from China and the United States will present their latest research results, which will help update gastroenterologists' current understanding of acute pancreatitis. This session is co-sponsored by the Chinese Society of Gastroenterology (CSG)

Digestive Disease Week® (DDW) is an attractive event for gastroenterologists worldwide, with many of them coming from Spanish-speaking countries. Some years ago, AGA included the session Lo Mejor de la DDW en español, intending to help the Spanish-speaking audience to get the most out of the four busy days. For Lo Mejor de la DDW en español 2025, AGA has invited five experts in different fields to review and highlight selected abstracts presented at the meeting. Mauricio García Saenz de Sicilia and Edgardo Smecuol, MD, (co-chairs of the AGAs International Subcommittee) will chair this exciting session.

Repositories for human biospecimens (biorepositories) and data resulting from human studies are invaluable resources for continued investigations and when effectively combined allow interrogation of otherwise intractable questions. With examples from multiple disease states, this session will first describe the establishment of biorepositories and the management of data that results from them. In consideration of the expansion of publicly available data resources following the NIH's 2023 Data Management and Sharing Policy, the session will then discuss applications for multimodal human GI datasets.

Founded in 1950, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) is celebrating its 75th Anniversary throughout 2025. The Institute creates knowledge about and treatments for diseases that are among the most chronic, costly, and consequential for patients, their families, and the nation. Between the intramural research division and extramural funding support, stakeholders across digestive disease have benefited immensely from the training, coordination, funding, and stewardship of the NIDDK. Join leadership from across NIDDK and NIH will discuss major achievements throughout NIDDKs 75 years, the current state of the agency and vision for its future.

The purpose of the proposed session entitled, Navigating Career Transitions for Women, is to provide support to women in gastroenterology pursuing new phases of their careers. The program will highlight the options and opportunities for women in GI and how we can leverage our communities to achieve gender equity and job satisfaction when a transition is made. In three separate short talks, we will highlight: a) The landscape of careers for women across GI, gender disparities unique to different practice settings and the opportunities for women considering career transitions in GI.b) Strategies to support decision-making and post-transition fulfillment. c) How to maximize your value through contract and compensation negotiations. Talks will be followed by a diverse panel of speakers who will be asked to provide their own experience making career transitions, and highlight opportunities, pitfalls, and wisdom for early and mid- career change.
