Focus GI: How GI Nurse Practitioners Turn Conference Pearls Into Better Patient Care

We’re recording live from the Focus GI conference in San Antonio, and the conversations get honest fast: what do GI clinicians actually learn that changes patient outcomes, and what myths keep getting in the way? We sit down with nurse practitioners and advanced practice providers who work in gastroenterology and IBD care to unpack the small “clinical pearls” that add up to better, faster decisions, from using evidence-based guidelines to avoiding unnecessary testing and reducing delays in diagnosis.

You’ll hear from Gabby Torres and Barbara Krause on why shared decision-making is more than a buzzword, especially when patients show up with fear fueled by social media side effects lists. We talk pelvic floor health, constipation, hemorrhoids, and why nutrition education still feels underused in everyday GI practice. We also dig into stigma: why people wait too long to mention rectal bleeding, and what we wish every patient knew about the providers who are trying to help.

Blas Villa and Augustine Conejo share what new GI providers should master early, like the fundamentals of GI bleeding, pancreatitis, and cirrhosis, plus why conferences help translate “fire hose” learning into real clinic confidence. Then Hana Svejdova and Stacey Collins take us into the future of gastroenterology: career development for APPs, why long-term steroids are no longer acceptable as a default IBD strategy, how supplement safety and tools like LiverTox fit into patient education, and how dietitians and gut-brain providers belong on the IBD team.
