2017 Canadian Association of Gastroenterology Educational Needs Assessment Report.

The annual survey of Canadian Association of Gastroenterology (CAG) members' educational needs was conducted via an online survey sent to 772 CAG members in March 2017. A total of 211 individuals responded to the survey, of which 197 went on to rate educational topics. Similar to previous years, endoscopy techniques, Crohn's & Ulcerative Colitis, and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) topics were most in demand for future educational events. Other highly rated areas were celiac disease, functional bowel disorders (IBS), GI oncology, non-IBD intestinal disorders, upper GI bleeding, nutrition, NAFLD, and chronic diarrhea.
