The WVU Interventional and Surgical Endoscopy (WISE) Conference, held May 15-16 at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Farmington, Pennsylvania, brought together more than 300 delegates from around the world for an educational program focused on innovation, collaboration and the future of advanced endoscopic care.
