The Cleveland IDEAS Symposiums are a series of comprehensive educational activities that will encompass a Basic Science workshop for research-oriented physicians and scientists and a clinical Gastroenterology/Hepatology course covering current topics and leading-edge technologies in the field of gastrointestinal and liver diseases. 

The Basic Science workshop (non-CME) will gather together international and national experts in the field of gastrointestinal diseases to provide a series of state-of-the-art basic presentations regarding cytokines/inflammatory bowel disease, the gut microbiome and its impact on other organs, and mucosal immunology beyond the gut.
