This session will focus on an understanding of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) as it relates to normal anatomy and physiology of the biliary and pancreatic systems and the role ERCP has in diagnosis and treatment. A thorough review of biliary and pancreatic radiograph entitled "What's That Up There on the Screen" will be offered and a teaching video focusing on a hands-on approach to equipment use during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography will be shown.
