13th International Pediatric Intestinal Failure and Rehabilitation Symposium
Join us for the 13th International Pediatric Intestinal Failure and Rehabilitation Symposium from Thursday, Sept. 26, to Saturday, Sept. 28, 2024, at the Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, Pa.
The biannual event is sponsored by UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh.
This global meeting is designed to bring together international and national experts in the multidisciplinary care of the intestinal failure patient. This year’s theme, Intestinal Failure 360°, will explore a multifaceted view at all aspects of intestinal failure and transplant from birth to adulthood.
So much has transpired in the past two decades, and this meeting will celebrate the tremendous advances in medical and surgical care for the intestinal failure patient while addressing the challenges that face the field. The Primer and the Symposium will address the latest developments in etiology, pathophysiology, surgical and nonsurgical therapies, quality-of-life, and outcomes-based work in the field.
PIFRS integrates medical and surgical dialogue to help build off the dramatic interdisciplinary work that has characterized intestinal failure management. Global leaders in the field will set the stage for important next steps and networking.
