Welcome to registration for the In-Person Third Year Fellows Conference. 

NASPGHAN third year Pediatric GI Fellows are invited to participate in the annual NASPGHAN Third Year Fellows Conference supported by an educational grant from Rickett/Mead Johnson.

In order to attend, you must:

• Be a 3rd year GI fellow in North America with an MD or equivalent degree in clinical fellowship.
• If English is not your first language, be proficient in written and spoken English.
• Be a member in good standing of NASPGHAN.
• Have obtained the appropriate Visas/documentation for travel.
• Attend all the sessions each day of the conference. The conference begins with a welcome session on Thursday, September 8th at 6:00PM, and the last session ends on Saturday, September 10th at 9:00PM. The majority of attendees will fly home the morning of Sunday, September 11th.

Travel and COVID
We will still have some safety guidelines in place for this event:

• Vaccination: We require that all attendees are fully COVID vaccinated and boosted in advance of the event.
• Pre-conference testing: All attendees are required to have a negative COVID test within 1-3 days of the conference and will have the results before boarding your plane.  We are not specifying a specific type of test or proof.  We respect that you are responsible individuals and will do what is needed to keep everyone safe.  We will have rapid home tests available on-site, if you become symptomatic, as needed.  We will assist those of you who require a COVID test before returning to your home country.
• Air travel : At the time of this letter, US regulations do not require you to be masked to fly.  We recommend wearing an N95 or equivalent mask while flying.
• Travel to/from the airport: Our transportation will be private to conference attendees – you will not be sharing with other non-NASPGHAN travelers. 
• No shared sleeping rooms. For 2022 we are able to provide individual hotel rooms to each attendee instead of requiring shared rooms. If you would like to have a shared room instead, and all parties agree, we are certainly able to accommodate. Just email Laura Smith at lsmith@naspghan.org.
• Masking and social distancing: Masks will be required in all sessions.  Hand sanitizer, cleaning wipes and disposable masks will be available, but we encourage you to bring your own masks as well.  We will set our meeting rooms with as much space as possible between attendees.
• Attending with guests: In order to minimize exposure where we can for NASPGHAN attendees, NO friends or family are allowed to stay with you in the hotel or come to any conference events.  *If you are a nursing mother, please contact the NASPGHAN staff/course directors.
• Extending your stay:You are welcome to extend your stay AFTER the conference. You will be responsible for hotel, meals, transportation and any difference in flight cost (if it would be more than attending during the event dates.) We ask that you do not try to extend your stay BEFORE the conference.
