The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy’s (ASGE) Standards of Practice (SOP) Committee, Artificial Intelligence Institute for Gastroenterology (AIGI) and Technology Committee have co-developed a guidance document.

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released a proposed rule on May 29 that would substantially revise the federal regulations governing grants, cooperative agreements, and other forms of federal financial assistance.

The Standards of Practice (SOP) Committee has developed a clinical practice update entitled, “Role of Remimazolam in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy: ASGE Clinical Practice Update.”

ASGE is pleased to announce the inauguration of Jason A. Dominitz, MD, MHS, MASGE as the new President of the Society. Dr. Dominitz brings to this role a distinguished record of leadership, scholarship and national impact.

Four years ago, ASGE initiated a Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Screening CRC program to boost follow-up colonoscopy for uninsured patients. Pilot sites were in two states - Georgia and Maryland.

This guideline is an update to the 2014 recommendations for optimizing the adequacy of bowel cleansing for colonoscopy from the US Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer, which represents ACG, AGA, and ASGE.

As we mark National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month in March, ASGE is pleased to announce a generous donation of endoscopy equipment from Olympus Corporation of the Americas (Olympus).

The Standards of Practice (SOP) Committee has developed a guideline entitled, “ASGE Guideline on management of esophageal and gastric varices in patients with cirrhosis.”

An ASGE project that is designed to increase colorectal cancer (CRC) screening and completion colonoscopy rates for underserved patients is entering its final phases.

The Standards of Practice (SOP) Committee has developed an adverse events document entitled, “Adverse Events Associated with Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and ERCP-related Procedures.”
