Credit Designation Statement

NASPGHAN designates this live activity for a maximum of 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits^TM. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. 

ABP MOC Part 2 Credits

Successful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the activity, with individual assessments of the participant and feedback to the participant, enables the participant to earn up to 1.5 MOC Part 2 points for the live webinar in the American Board of Pediatrics’ (ABP) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program. It is the CME activity provider’s responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABP MOC credit.

Participant must complete the assessment within 30 days of the activity.

Clinical Utility of Integrating Functional Luminal Imaging probe, (using impedance planimetry technology) with Standard EGD for Comprehensive Esophageal Assessment will explore the role of functional luminal imaging probe technology in pediatric gastroenterology and its growing value in the evaluation of esophageal function during endoscopy.

Using high-resolution impedance planimetry, this technology allows for real-time assessment of the esophagus, pylorus, and anal sphincters, offering important insights into esophagogastric junction function and esophageal contractile activity. The session will review the technology’s design and system features, practical considerations for incorporating testing into routine endoscopic procedures, and key principles of data interpretation, including diameter, cross-sectional area, compliance, distensibility, and contractile response patterns.

Through case-based discussion and a focus on pediatric-specific applications, participants will gain practical knowledge to support more accurate diagnosis, clinical decision-making, and long-term management of complex esophageal disorders in children.  Join our experts on May 6!
