Harvard GI Motility & Brain-Gut Disorders: Evidence vs Consensus 2024
A focused neurogastroenterology and motility course designed to help clinicians evaluate, treat, and manage patients with esophageal disorders, reflux, swallowing problems, gastric and small bowel dysmotility, colonic and anorectal disorders, gut-brain interaction conditions, and emerging GI motility therapies.
Harvard GI Motility & Brain-Gut Disorders: Evidence vs Consensus 2024 is a recorded medical course focused on neurogastroenterology, motility disorders, reflux testing, dysphagia, gastric and small bowel conditions, colonic and anorectal disorders, behavioral therapies, GI technology, and practical case-based clinical management.
Focus: Esophageal conditions, swallowing disorders, acid reflux, gastric motility, colonic function, anorectal testing, motility workshops, digital tools, AI, and behavioral/psychological interventions.
About This Course
GI motility and brain-gut disorders are common, complex, and often challenging in both primary and subspecialty care. New diagnostic techniques and therapies continue to evolve, while many management decisions still require balancing evidence-based medicine with expert clinical judgment.
This course brings together case-based panel discussions, mini-lectures, practical workshops, breakout sessions, and clinically focused teaching to help clinicians develop stronger strategies for diagnosing and managing motility and disorders of gut-brain interaction.

Reviews
A very practical motility course. The esophageal and anorectal testing sections were especially helpful for real-world GI practice.
Excellent for understanding complex brain-gut disorders. The case discussions and behavioral therapy sessions made the material easier to apply.
The APP-focused sessions and practical testing workshops were extremely useful for daily GI care and patient triage.
