The SCSG’s objective is to provide comprehensive educational updates, highlighting data and information from the major annual US conferences in gastroenterology and liver disease to its members and West Coast healthcare providers. The SCSG hosts two annual symposia, which include: the SCSG GI symposium, a three-day meeting held in June, and the SCSG liver symposium, a two-day meeting held in December. These symposia bring together over 40 faculty experts and over 450 healthcare providers from the greater West Coast area and consist of physicians, gastroenterologists and hepatologists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and nurses from community practices.

 

The 2023 SCSG Symposia will be co-chaired by the Course Directors, who assist in developing meeting agendas and determining the faculty for each symposium. The SCSG Co-Chairs assemble a world-class faculty who are responsible for data presentations, panel discussions, and interactive small-group parallel sessions. The faculty Co-Chairs include Drs. Gareth Dulai, Eric Esrailian, Ke-Qin Hu, Steven-Huy Han, Jeffrey A. Kahn and Paul Pockros. Additional 2023 faculty members will include leading experts from Southern California academic medical centers, as well as visiting professors from across the US. Cutting-edge updates and lively interactions with the audience make SCSG meetings unique opportunities to ask leaders in the field how they diagnose and treat complex disease states.

​

In addition to offering live meetings, SCSG posts all recorded lectures on its website; they are available for viewing at www.socalgastro.org to extend our reach to HCPs who are unable to attend the symposia. Additionally, all slides presented are available for download on the SCSG website.
