Bowel Sounds Summer School is BACK!  In our first Summer School episode this season, hosts Dr. Peter Lu and Dr. Jordan Whatley have taken highlights from past episodes on abdominal pain and put them into a special episode jam-packed with clinical pearls.

Former expert guests Dr. Miguel Saps, Dr. Sam Nurko, Dr. Miranda van Tilburg, Dr. Ann Ming Yeh, Dr. Bruno Chumpitazi, Kirsten Jones, RD, and Dr. Neha Santucci explain to us how they evaluate and treat the child with abdominal pain.

Our Bowel Sounds Summer School series will include four episodes each summer on big topics in our field, artisanally crafted for the ears of learners of all stages from the young student to the seasoned attending.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the importance of making a positive diagnosis for a child with an abdominal pain-predominant disorder of gut-brain interaction (DGBI).
2. Recognize the role of lifestyle modification, dietary changes, and supplements in the treatment of children with chronic abdominal pain.
3. Review the behavioral and pharmacological therapies available for children with chronic abdominal pain.
