Equity in GI 2025

July 24, 2025 - July 26, 2025 All Day EDT
COGI-EiGI2025-A-Different-World-Graphic-20250128-1

THEME:
A DIFFERENT WORLD

Honoring a staple in Black sitcoms, Equity in GI will transform into a historically black colleges and universities (HBCU) experience themed “A Different World”. This show tackled tough topics, shared the diverse makeup of black communities, and immersed students in not only their history, but their potential futures. A model we strive to expand for patients at this year’s event.

So without further ado… Welcome to COGI University! We specialize in digestive disease education with a strong curriculum in Inflammatory Bowel Disease and a growing curriculum in Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Celiac Disease, Obesity, Colorectal Cancer, and Short Bowel Syndrome, to start. With a high demand for proper healthcare, we seek to create a transformational experience for patients, care givers, health care providers, and industry members. Because as we know, an empowered patient often leads to patient centered care.
