NASPGHAN is very excited to announce the "CHIME" hands-on endoscopy course with an emphasis on advanced techniques and “upskilling” will be held on the Wednesday before the Annual Meeting on Wednesday October 16th. The course location will be the home of the American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy's (ASGE) Interactive Training and Technology Center, with over 2800 square feet training space in Downer’s Grove, Illinois.
The CHIME course will be aimed at fellows and faculty, and should provide a great opportunity to gain skills in a range of techniques, including clips and other closure devices, complex esophageal management (stricturoplasty and stents), foreign body removal (food impaction, sharps, batteries and magnets), bleeding (argon plasma coagulation, variceal band ligation, sclerotherapy, and bipolar coagulation) and “train the trainer”.
Course Objectives:
- Provide unique skills in a dedicated training area for endoscopy
- Improve basic and advanced endoscopy skills
- Introduce new techniques and equipment
- Apply combined therapies in patients with non-variceal bleeding
- Discuss research areas in several endoscopic disciplines
- Focus on Upskilling and Train the Trainer
Shuttle service will be provided at the end of the course from the IT&T Center on the evening of Wednesday, October 16th to the Sheraton Grand Hotel where the Annual Meeting will take place. The course will not start until early afternoon, so attendees can plan to take early flights and go directly to the center. Space is limited, and past courses have been extremely popular.
The full agenda for this course is posted below. We expect most attendees will be able to fly in the morning of the event and go directly to the IT&T Center for the session. If you are planning to arrive the day before, we recommend spending that night in Downers Grove as the commute from Chicago is about 40 minutes. There are a few hotels very close to the center and they often offer shuttle service to the center. As stated above we will provide transportation at the conclusion of the CHIME program from the IT&T Center to the Sheraton Grand. The hotel we recommend in the area is:
