Keck USC Update in GI and Liver Diseases 2025 — debates and new guidance from pancreatic cysts to obesity care
The Keck Annual USC Update in GI and Liver Diseases: Controversies and Guidelines in 2025 is framed around arguments rather than lectures: should that pancreatic cyst be watched or removed, is it dyspepsia or gastroparesis, what now when endoscopy is normal but the patient still cannot swallow? You receive 12 videos, about 4 hours 45 minutes, taught by 14 Keck Medicine of USC faculty and guests.

Before you buy
Does it cover every objective of the live course?
No. The course objectives also mention living donor liver transplant evaluation, AKI in cirrhosis, HCC therapy, ambulatory cirrhosis care, third-space endoscopy and IBD dysplasia, but none of those appears among the 12 recorded titles.
Are the two obesity talks different videos?
They carry different titles and speakers but an identical 12:18 running time, which may point to one file duplicated; please allow for that.
Do I get CME credit or a certificate?
No. Clinicapedia provides the educational content only — no CME or CE credits, MOC points or certificates of completion are included with this product.
