GOALS
As the only endoscopy directors meeting
in the U.S., it is our hope that this
meeting will again provide an important
forum for endoscopy unit directors to
identify important issues in endoscopy
unit management. In addition, we hope
that this forum will also provide a unique
opportunity for endoscopy unit directors
and industry to better understand and
address important issues discussed at the
meeting. The target audience includes
endoscopy unit medical directors,
administrative or nurse managers, or any
individuals aspiring or interested to become
leaders of endoscopy units.
