What Educational and Conference Resources Does ACG Offer on gi.org?
Updated
gi.org is the website of the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG), a professional organization for health care professionals in digestive health. The site functions mainly as a hub for continuing education, annual meetings, publications, and member programs. Most listed activities are aimed at gastroenterology professionals, and several require ACG membership or separate registration.
Online Continuing Education
ACG Virtual Grand Rounds
A recurring live online series. According to the site, a nationally recognized expert presents each week on Thursday at Noon (ET), followed by an 8:00pm (ET) rebroadcast, with Q&A included. The page also links to a related #GIhomeschooling resource.
Upcoming Courses
The site maintains an "Upcoming Courses" section that aggregates its scheduled educational programs in one place.
Conferences and Courses
| Program | Location | Dates |
|---|---|---|
| ACG 2026 Annual Scientific Meeting & Postgraduate Course | Nashville, TN | October 9–14, 2026 |
| ACG's Obesity and Metabolic Disorders School & Southern Regional Postgraduate Course | Louisville, KY | December 4–6, 2026 |
Both entries include separate "Learn More" and "Register" links, so registration is handled per event rather than through a single signup.
