What happens when you get 27 GIs in a room? More than 200 AGA sessions are planned for Digestive Disease Week® (DDW) 2023!
The AGA Institute Council is made up of elected representatives from 13 special interest groups, or sections, and is responsible for AGA’s education program at DDW. You can check out council session highlights, along with other hot topics and our partnerships around the world, in the DDW Preliminary Program.
We’re sending a big thanks to council leadership, councillors and reviewers for putting together an outstanding program this year; one that clearly highlights how AGA is empowering clinicians and researchers worldwide to improve digestive health.
