This on-demand course will provide advanced GI fellows and endosonographers with a comprehensive overview of how therapeutic endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is used to care for patients who have gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal disorders. It will cover everything from the origins of the EUS to discussing and demonstrating the fine points of the procedure to hands-on practice. Renowned faculty will address the procedure's equipment, technical aspects, diagnostic utility, and therapeutic uses. The didactic portion of this course will include case discussions and debates, while the bio-skills lab portion will feature animate models that participants will be able to use to demonstrate the EUS procedures that are encountered in everyday practice - as well as addressing some new and advanced EUS applications.

• Describe the technical aspects and role of therapeutic EUS procedures, specifically EUS guided tissue acquisition and portal pressure measurement (comprehension)
• Identify potential common adverse events associated with therapeutic EUS (knowledge)
• Summarize the best practices that are used to manage common adverse events associated with therapeutic EUS (synthesis)
• Explain the utility and role of EUS for accessing and draining the bile and pancreatic ducts (evaluation)
• Explain the utility and role of EUS guided celiac plexus block and celiac plexus neurolysis (evaluation)
• Differentiate the types of EUS guided therapies for cyst and tumor ablation (analysis)
• Demonstrate techniques for EUS guided treatment of pancreatic pseudocysts and walled off necrosis (application)
