Minimally Invasive and Novel Therapeutics 2022

The Minimally Invasive and Novel Therapeutics (MINT) In Foregut Disease continuing medical education (CME) event, taking place from September 29-October 1, 2022, seeks to equip clinicians with knowledge of the latest physiologic tools needed to diagnose and treat benign foregut disease, and to teach them how different treatment options fit within the paradigm of overall foregut disease.

Course Overview

The Minimally Invasive and Novel Therapeutics (MINT) continuing medical education (CME) event, taking place from September 29 – October 1, 2022, seeks to equip clinicians with advanced technical knowledge of the latest surgical and endoscopic procedures needed to diagnose and treat foregut disease including abdominal wall hernias. We further hope to foster ongoing collaboration between gastroenterologists and surgeons to optimize the multidisciplinary care of patients with foregut digestive disease.

This event will be both in-person, with an optional hands-on component, and live streamed for the benefit of those who cannot attend in person.

This is a Harvard Medical School-accredited course hosted in partnership with the Swallowing, Heartburn, Esophageal Disease (SHED) Program at Massachusetts General Hospital and the Heartburn and Reflux Program at Newton-Wellesley Hospital.

Course Background and Description

The management of benign foregut disease continues to evolve. New physiologic tests and novel surgical and endoluminal approaches have greatly improved outcomes for patients. The published literature surrounding these therapies continues to evolve. However, this cadence can make it difficult for the busy practitioner to keep up with the latest information, resulting in a practice gap. Additionally, most surgical and gastroenterological training programs do not provide significant exposure to foregut disease management, and thus practicing physicians may not be equipped to offer the latest therapies to their patients.

In an effort to close these gaps, the MINT CME seeks to provide practicing physicians and fellows with education and training in the latest therapies with a focus on video-based technical skills.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of the MINT CME, clinicians can expect to be able to:

  • Apply new knowledge in the management of patients with reflux and swallowing disorders
  • Develop treatment strategies based on current evidence and expert-opinion
  • Compare and contrast standard-of-care management with cutting-edge treatments

Hands-On Skills Training Workshop

This course will host an optional hands-on skills training session where physicians will have the opportunity to practice novel skills under the directorship of experts in the field. This training session will include stations dedicated to:

  • The Da Vinci Robot
  • Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM)
  • Per-oral pyloromyotomy (POP)
  • Endoscopic mucosal resection and radiofrequency ablation (RFA)
  • Esophageal stenting and suturing
  • transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF)
  • Manometry and EndoFLIP

APP Session

Advanced practice providers (APPs) such as nurse practitioners and physician assistants are essential to providing quality patient care in foregut disease. Two Mass General APPs, Alexandra Maltby, PA-C, and Priyanca Waghmarae, PA-C, will host a dedicated didactic session for APPs in the field with the goal of furthering education and understanding of foregut disease and treatments, and promoting a collaborative approach to patient care.

Target Audience

This course is targeted to gastroenterologists, surgeons, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, nurses and dietitians. This course may also be of interest to physicians who practice in primary care.
