Besides training, education and new research, gastroenterologists rely on innovative technology in the diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal disorders. In the past year, there have been several advances including endoscopy technology and colonscopy screenings. Since new technology is available and emerging, there are several sessions and abstracts on this topic at DDW® 2014 in Chicago, IL.
DDW attendees are also encouraged to visit the Exhibit Hall, where they will find companies and organizations in the device/instrumentation sector. View a list of companies that are exhibiting at DDW 2014. You can also use the handy Exhibit Guide to navigate through the Exhibit Hall.
