Abstract
The Clinical Affairs portfolio reflects the most direct interests of the majority of the membership and focuses on issues related to patient care. It encompasses the Endoscopy, Hepatobiliary/Transplant, Liaison, Pediatric, Practice Affairs and Regional Representation Committees. The portfolio is overseen by Dr Alan Barkun, Chair of Clinical Affairs. Its committees have been very busy spearheading a number of initiatives over the past six months, while contributing to a number of projects undertaken by other committees of the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology (CAG).
