Course Description:
Mark Your Calendar for the ACG/LGS Regional Postgraduate Course and ACG’s Endoscopy School, March 6-8, 2026, at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside, and join colleagues in the “Big Easy.”
ACG’s Endoscopy School is a day-long comprehensive endoscopic program that features didactic, hands-on, and a NEW live endoscopy component. This “deep dive” into Endoscopy will be of particular interest to community based gastroenterologists who seek to enhance their knowledge of endoscopy with a curriculum that is not centered around any single device or procedure. This program is designed to better enable clinical gastroenterologists and their advanced practice provider colleagues to diagnose and treat patients more efficiently.
Led by Course Directors Hrishikesh Samant, MD, FACG, and Sarah C. Glover, DO, the 2026 ACG/LGS Regional Postgraduate Course offered on Friday to Sunday, March 6-8, will explore areas the gastroenterologist often faces in clinical practice and address management updates on a variety of gastrointestinal and hepatic topics. This course will cover multiple areas including liver, upper and lower GI disorders, ergonomics, pancreatic and biliary diseases, IBD, and much more. The program’s structure includes a mix of didactic presentations delivered by expert faculty, case presentations, and numerous Q & A opportunities.
Guests at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside will enjoy stunning views of the city and the Mississippi River. Step outside the hotel and explore the Riverwalk, the French Quarter, or the local cuisine! Take a tour of the Garden District, a swamp tour on an airboat, or enjoy a leisurely riverboat cruise at sunset. The hotel is located within a few blocks of various attractions including world-famous restaurants like Antoine’s and Brennan’s, the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas, the arts and warehouse district, the National WWII Museum, Mardi Gras World, and Jackson Square.
