- W2313014034 abstract "491 Canadian Digestive Disease Week (CDDW) 2003 will be held in Banff, Alberta from February 22 to 25, 2003. Plans are well advanced to develop a program that we know will be as attractive as the venue. As you begin to plan your itinerary for 2003, it is worth reflecting on what CDDW can offer that other meetings cannot. One can hardly argue that the American, European or other meetings throughout the world are lacking in scientific or educational quality. There are a number of features that make this meeting especially worth attending. First, it is a Canadian meeting and addresses issues in gastroenterology from that perspective. For example, at last years meeting in Montreal, Dr Flavio Habal from the University of Toronto, Ontario chaired a symposium entitled Ambulatory Endoscopy in Canada. It is unlikely that you would get that kind of information in any other setting. Similarly, in 2003, we intend to focus on issues that are directly relevant to Canadian practice. Topics are selected in response to the annual Canadian Association of Gastroenterology (CAG) Needs Assessment from the membership. Another advantage is that the CDDW meeting is a chance to meet and network with Canadian colleagues. Some of this is informal (for example at the opening reception or the gala dinner), and some, such as the CAG subcommittees, is more formal. It is an opportunity to meet, face-to-face, colleagues with whom you have been exchanging e-mails, faxes and telephone calls for the past 12 months. The size of the meeting is also important. We have deliberately tried to keep the meeting from growing too large. While we encourage your participation and expect a good attendance in Banff, we do not wish to expand into the range of several thousand people, at which point the intimacy that characterizes CDDW would begin to disappear. Another feature unique to CDDW is our ability to bring the subgroups of CAG, the Canadian Association for the Study of the Liver (CASL) and other organizations together for special events. The meeting will be preceded by a focused course for residents in training, which will be chaired by Dr Ron Bridges (University of Calgary, Alberta). Dr Jamie Gregor (University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario) will chair a course for more junior medical residents, with the aim of attracting them to the specialty of gastroenterology. Most importantly, the course for clinical gastroenterologists has been strengthened. In addition to the postgraduate course, which was brought back last year, there will be a number of excellent symposia. We are also considering breakfast sessions for the clinicians. This would be an opportunity to watch an international expert in the area work their way through a difficult case. For example, we are proposing in Banff to have some of our outstanding Planning for Canadian Digestive Disease Week 2003" @default.
