Overview

Despite therapeutic advances, the prognosis of pulmonary hypertension remains poor which likely reflects in part delayed detection of the disease and scarcity of disease modifying therapies currently available. The former is important especially amongst health care providers given the myriad of conditions that can result in pulmonary hypertension, including chronic liver disease, left heart disease, and connective tissue disease. Early recognition of the pulmonary hypertension and recognizing the indication & limitations of current pulmonary artery hypertension-specific therapies are important to allows for prompt and appropriate treatment strategies. Knowledge on the peri-operative, acute, and chronic management strategies of patients with pulmonary hypertension are important for health care providers to understand the complexity of managing patients with pulmonary hypertension.

Objectives

• Explore novel and established diagnostic and management approaches in patients with pulmonary hypertension
• Identify the different treatment approaches in acute RV failure.
• Discuss the different diagnostic and management approach for patients with PH associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

The Yale Multiple Sclerosis Symposium, taking place on May 8, 2026, at the New Haven Lawn Club in New Haven, Connecticut, will provide clinicians with an in-depth update on the rapidly evolving field of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). MS remains one of the most common neurological disorders causing disability in young adults, with more than one million individuals currently affected in the United States. Advances in disease phenotyping, diagnostic imaging, and therapeutic strategies continue to reshape the management of MS, creating an ongoing need for clinicians to stay current with emerging evidence and evolving standards of care. This symposium will review recent scientific developments, highlight best practices in clinical management, and equip providers with practical strategies to improve outcomes and enhance the quality of care for individuals living with MS.

This session will establish context as to why it is necessary to differentiate jobs from careers, propose a rubric to classify and triage job versus career needs, and offer specific, behaviorally-focused action plans to make more time available for career development. Topics for which action plans are offered include calendar management, explicit prioritization of important but non-urgent tasks, more effective email use, and mitigating electronic distractors. The need to say no to particular asks and opportunities will also be covered. While applicable to faculty at all stages, the session is likely most impactful for those in early and mid-careers.

Session Type: Repeat Offering (Session content similar to 2024-25 session. Best suited for those new to the material or who may benefit from a refresher.)

Associated Clinician Educator Milestones:

• UP 1: Universal Pillar 1: Reflective practice and commitment to personal growth
• UP 2: Universal Pillar 2: Well-being of learners and colleagues
• UP 4: Universal Pillar 4: Commitment to professional responsibilities

This webinar brings together leaders from academic medical centers for a candid conversation on how artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to support student feedback, build AI literacy across undergraduate medical education, graduate medical education, and continuing medical education, and strengthen clinical reasoning skills.

This moderated roundtable will explore real‑world approaches—including using AI as a thought partner rather than an answer engine—along with lessons learned, guardrails for responsible use, and emerging questions institutions are navigating together. The discussion will feature distinguished guests from Mt. Sinai, Stanford, UTHealth Houston, and University of Washington.

Overview

The Yale Digestive Disease Week Review, hosted by faculty from Yale School of Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, Section of Digestive Diseases, is an annual continuing medical education program designed to deliver timely, clinically relevant updates from the national Digestive Disease Week (DDW) meeting. Each year, Yale faculty members attend DDW, identify the most impactful research, guideline updates, and therapeutic innovations, and then present these key learnings to regional gastroenterologists, hepatologists, primary-care clinicians, advanced practice providers, and other allied health professionals. This program ensures that clinicians who are unable to attend DDW receive a comprehensive and curated review of the newest advances in gastroenterology, hepatology, endoscopy, microbiome science, and digestive-disease management. The sessions emphasize translation of emerging evidence into daily clinical practice, promote interdisciplinary discussion, and support improved patient outcomes across the continuum of digestive health care.

Objectives

1. Summarize the most important scientific updates, guideline changes, and emerging clinical evidence presented at the national Digestive Disease Week meeting.
2. Incorporate new diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations into clinical decision-making for common and complex GI and hepatology conditions.
3. Evaluate the implications of new endoscopic technologies, innovations, and procedural data for patient management and procedural planning.
4. Apply evidence-based strategies discussed at DDW to optimize patient outcomes in areas such as colorectal cancer screening, liver disease, IBD management, microbiome-related disorders, and gastrointestinal oncology.
5. Identify opportunities to reduce variation in clinical practice by aligning care with current national standards and expert-reviewed data.
6. Strengthen multidisciplinary collaboration by translating new research findings into coordinated care approaches across gastroenterology, hepatology, primary care, nutrition, and surgical specialties.
7. Enhance interprofessional collaboration by integrating DDW evidence and best practices into team-based approaches involving physicians, nurses, advanced practice providers, and other allied health professionals to improve communication, coordination, and overall quality of digestive health care.
