Target Audience This activity is designed for physicians who are involved with providing patient care and who wish to advance their current knowledge of clinical medicine. Learning Objectives Upon completion of this educational activity, participants will be able to: 1. Examine the adenoma detection rate in high-risk versus average-risk patients. 2. Determine the long-term safety and efficacy of complete endoscopic resection of short-segment Barrett’s esophagus. 3.
