I think you have to be quite gutsy. You can’t really achieve anything unless you work hard. It’s a good skill to have in IBD and gastroenterology.

Registration Options

You choose how you want to be a part of DDW — in person in San Diego or online, with access to a variety of livestreamed and on-demand content.

If you don’t have time to attend the full four-day meeting, consider registering in the Postgraduate Course Only category (register for a one-day Postgraduate Course without registering for the full meeting). If you can’t attend at all during the meeting dates, you can purchase access to the on demand sessions after DDW ends.
