ERCP is a technically challenging therapeutic procedure. The second day of this course will focus on the relevant pancreaticobiliary anatomy and physiology, the devices used during the procedure, and the teamwork necessary for successful performance of ERCP, complementing didactic instruction with hands-on practice.

This formal educational activity has been developed in response to GI Nurses and Associates who have expressed a need to increase their knowledge on the basics of Endoscopic Ultrasound as well as therapeutic modalities. Attendees will be given up-to-date information that may help to improve unit operations and patient care.
