The MedStar Health International Colorectal Disease Symposium is one of the world’s most respected colorectal educational meetings. Designed as a comprehensive exchange of the most current and impactful topics in colorectal surgery, this symposium brings together internationally recognized faculty and leading experts from around the globe. For more than three decades, this meeting has been regarded as a premier educational experience, known for its depth, rigor, and forward-thinking approach to advancing patient care. Recurring themes include multidisciplinary team care, cost-effective adoption of new technology, shared decision making, and education. Ample time has been allocated for discussion, questions, and answers. Ample time is built into the program for discussion, questions, and meaningful exchange with faculty.

This conference is intended for colon and rectal surgeons, emergency medicine physicians, gastroenterologists, surgeon, physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, allied health professionals, and other members of the healthcare team interested in the management of colorectal disease.

Invited by Dr. Steven Wexner, the course director, our published house (AME Publishing Company) will present at the symposium with journals on related scopes, including but not limited to Annals of Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Surgery (ALES), Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology (JGO), Journal of Visualized Surgery (JOVS), Translational Gastroenterology and Hepatology (TGH).

Additionally, we will officially release the book Surgeons' Guide to Medical Writing edited by Drs. Abe Fingerhut, Des Winter and Steven Wexner at the symposium.

This book is meant to be a comprehensive, state-of-the-art guide to medical writing based on why to write and publish as much as how to get precise, informative, clear messages across to the readership.

We would like to seize this great opportunity to meet our authors, editorial board members and readers. You are cordially invited to visit us at Booth (AME Publishing Company).

We warmly welcome you to stop by our booth when available and join us at the event in Washington, D.C.!
