Introduction

This 7^th annual teaching conference directed by David Carr-Locke, MD, FRCP, FACG; Kees Huibregtse, MD, Amsterdam, The Netherlands; and Simon K. Lo, MD, FACP, FACG, Los Angeles, California, provided an intensive and comprehensive review of the technical and clinical aspects of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and related techniques by combining 18 didactic lectures, 14 hours of live ERCP demonstrations from Torrance Memorial Medical Center, a session devoted to ERCP nursing for GI nurses and technicians, meet-the-professor sessions for physicians and nurses, and discussion of cases provided by members of the audience.
