Refresher Course in GI Physiology
Sponsored by APS Education Committee
Education Track

Saturday, April 28 — 8:00 AM-12:00 AM
Washington, DC Convention Center — Room 145B
 
Chaired:

P.K. Rangachari, McMaster Univ. 
L. Britt Wilson, Univ. of South Carolina

A clinician scientist (Collins) will set the stage by considering a specific clinical condition (irritable bowel syndrome) and experts in smooth muscle (Sanders), enteric nerves (Mawe) and epithelia (Barrett) will detail what has been gleaned about different elements of the GI tract that provide possible explanations for the symptoms seen. A brief epilogue (Rangachari) will outline  what was known about GI physiology a hundred years earlier to emphasize the relevance of basic research to clinical problems.
