CSID APP Leadership Summits - A CME Proceedings Newsletter for Advanced Practice Providers

Target Audience

The joint providership estimates the initiative will attract an audience of 5,000 participants, including physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, and physician assistants. A comprehensive reach optimization effort will be driven by the Gi Health Foundation (GiHF) and Gastroenterology & Hepatology Advanced Practice Providers (GHAPP) proprietary databases and educational portals. Outreach will focus on health care professionals who have opted-in for educational updates from GiHF and GHAPP.

The joint providership of Medical Education Resources (MER) and GiHF proposes to develop an accredited proceedings e-Newsletter on the management of patients with CSID. In addition to the content discussed during the CSID leadership summits and virtual mentorship sessions, additional expert opinions, recent publications, abstracts, and presentations from congress meetings will be reviewed as part of the e-Newsletter development process. The e-Newsletter will launch in February 2024 and reach more than 5,000 participants via GiHF’s and GHAPP’s educational portals and will be posted for a period of at least 12 months.

Educational Objectives:

• Describe the prevalence of CSID in patients with common GI disorders
• Incorporate current diagnostic strategies to differentiate CSID from other causes of persistent diarrhea seen in clinical practice, particularly among patients with suspected IBS
