The Grand Event Center - Columbus, OH

1 Day Conference 

November 7th, 2026

4.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ Hours

 

Description

The Annual Neurogastroenterology and Motility Conference 2026 is designed to address critical professional practice gaps in the diagnosis, management, and interdisciplinary treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) motility and functional disorders. These gaps are well-documented in the literature and reflect real-world challenges in patient care.

Objectives

1. Describe the latest diagnostic and management strategies for esophageal, gastric, colorectal and small bowel motility disorders.
2. Identify surgical and non-surgical treatment options for esophageal disorders (e.g. achalasia), gastric disorders (e.g. gastroparesis) and small bowel disorders (e.g. feeding tubes)
3. Explain the role of dietary interventions, such as the Low FODMAP diet, in managing IBS and functional GI disorders.
4. Discuss the application of functional tests such as manometry, wireless pH testing, FLIP in the evaluation of GI motility disorders.
5. Recognize the importance of psychological and behavioral therapies in the treatment of functional GI disorders.
6. Demonstrate practical skills in esophageal and anorectal manometry, FLIP, and biofeedback therapy through hands-on sessions.

Longitudinal Practice Education Program

November 12, 2026 - November 13, 2026

Online Streaming

1 Day Conference 

November 12th, 2026

2.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ Hours

Description

Medical students are trained in highly competitive environments where mistakes are often perceived as indicators of inadequate ability rather than opportunities for learning and growth. As a result, many learners demonstrate fixed-mindset characteristics, including avoidance of difficult challenges, reluctance to seek feedback, fear of failure, and decreased resilience following setbacks. These behaviors may adversely affect academic performance, professional identity formation, wellness, and long-term career development.

 

Evidence suggests that growth mindset, defined as the belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed through effort, effective strategies, and feedback, is associated with improved resilience, adaptability, learning behaviors, and academic success. Despite growing evidence supporting growth mindset principles in education, many medical student educators have not received formal training in applying these concepts within medical education. Consequently, a gap exists between current educational practices and best practices that preceptors in the LP program can use to foster lifelong learning, adaptability, psychological safety, and professional growth in the medical students they teach.

Cardiovascular Emergencies

November 13, 2026

Scotts Miracle-Gro Field - Columbus, OH

1 Day Conference 

November 13th, 2026

4.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ Hours

This continuing medical education activity brings together a multidisciplinary group of experts to explore the breadth of options for cardiovascular emergencies. This conference will provide physicians, advanced practice providers, trainees-in-medicine, nurses, allied healthcare providers, and emergency medical personnel with information regarding the most current evidence-based practices and treatment modalities.  This immersive, case‑based learning experience guides participants through the contemporary management of coronary artery disease, cardiogenic shock, valvular heart disease, and peripheral vascular disease as encountered in advanced cardiovascular practice.

Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to:
1. Review the management of coronary artery disease in the cardiac catheterization laboratory.
2. Review the management of cardiogenic shock.
3. Review the management of various valvular heart diseases.
4. Review the management of various peripheral vascular diseases.

2026 Lung Cancer Symposium

November 13, 2026

The Grand Event Center - Columbus, OH

1 Day Conference 

November 13th, 2026

4.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ Hours

 

Description

There is a persistent gap between rapidly evolving evidence in lung cancer management and its consistent application in clinical practice, particularly across academic and community settings. Major advances in early-stage disease—including perioperative immunotherapy and targeted therapy, the emergence of antibody-drug conjugates, and expanded use of comprehensive molecular testing (including circulating tumor DNA/liquid biopsies)—have outpaced routine adoption. Real-world data demonstrate variability in biomarker testing rates, staging practices, and use of guideline-concordant therapy, contributing to inconsistent care delivery and outcomes.

This activity brings together academic and community oncologists to align on current standards, improve integration of new therapies and diagnostics, and reduce variability in lung cancer care.

Objectives

1. Describe and apply perioperative management of NSCLC, including chemoimmunotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, and tissue and blood-based biomarker testing

2. Interpret and integrate results of broad-based biomarker testing to guide treatment selection in patients with NSCLC

3. Select and implement appropriate first-line treatment strategies for driver mutation—positive NSCLC, including EGFR-targeted therapies

4. Integrate current evidence into multidisciplinary management approaches for SCLC across clinical settings

5. Identify and evaluate appropriate clinical trial options and incorporate clinical trial enrollment into treatment planning for patients with lung cancer

Karla Rusk Electrophysiology Review for Advanced Practice Providers

November 20, 2026

The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center

1 Day Conference 

November 20th, 2026

6.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ Hours

 

Description

It is important for the healthcare provider to be able to identify and integrate current guidelines in diagnosing and treating patients with multiple co-morbidities and diagnoses. This continuing medical education activity is designed for healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis and management of cardiac arrhythmias and electrophysiology patients. Through case-based discussions and evidence-based presentations, participants will enhance their ability to interpret complex ECG findings, differentiate ventricular tachycardia from supraventricular tachycardia with aberrant conduction, and recognize clinical features associated with cardiac syncope.

The program provides practical guidance on contemporary atrial fibrillation management, including post-procedural care following left atrial appendage closure and application of guideline-directed treatment strategies. Attendees will review principles of antiarrhythmic drug selection for both atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, explore indications for leadless pacing, and develop approaches to managing common challenges associated with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). Additional topics include activity recommendations following ICD discharge, the relationship between adult congenital heart disease and arrhythmias, and strategies to reduce procedural risks during electrical cardioversion. Upon completion, participants will be better equipped to apply current evidence and best practices to optimize outcomes for patients with heart rhythm disorders.

Objectives

At the conclusion of this continuing medical education activity participants should be able to:

1.   Differentiate between ventricular tachycardia and supraventricular tachycardia with aberrant conduction on 12 lead ECG;
2.   Discuss ongoing clinical management following left atrial appendage occlusion;
3.   Utilize the core clinical pillars of atrial fibrillation management to formulate and evidence-based strategy for patient care;
4.   Discuss antiarrhythmic drug selection in management of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias;
5.   Identify clinical history and findings indicative of cardiac syncope;
6.   List indications for leadless pacing;
7.   Recognize and apply appropriate interventions for common problems with CIEDs;
8.   Describe activity limitations following ICD discharge;
9.   Describe the association between adult congenital heart disease and heart rhythm issues;
10. Review key steps to minimize procedural risks associated with electrical cardioversion.
