DDW 2025 Highlights
In May 2025, DOM's Division of Digestive Diseases shined at the Digestive Diseases Week (DDW) 2025 conference in San Diego, California. This meeting brings together digestive health professionals across the globe to explore the latest findings and expert insights across gastroenterology, hepatology, GI endoscopy, gastrointestinal surgery, and related fields.

Our faculty, residents, fellows, and alumni represented Emory well, with many of them sharing their research and expertise through poster presentations and talks. The division also hosted an Emory reception at the conference, bringing together both current and former division members for a chance to connect and network.
