Over six focused evenings this week, pediatric GI fellows and trainees across the Kingdom worked through every high-yield board topic — IBD, general pediatric GI, motility, nutrition, and hepatology — in an MCQ-and-slides format delivered live online by senior Saudi pediatric gastroenterology faculty.
10th Annual Pediatric Gastroenterology Board Review Course — six evenings, live online, 8–13 November 2026.
The Saudi Gastroenterology Association (SGA) concluded the 10th Annual Pediatric Gastroenterology Board Review Course this evening, Friday 13 November, after six consecutive evenings of exam-focused teaching delivered live online to candidates joining from across the Kingdom.
Organized by Prof. Abdulrahman AlHussaini (King Fahad Medical City), the course ran Sunday 8 through Friday 13 November, 8:00–10:00 PM each evening, and paired one dedicated topic with an MCQ-and-slides review format every session — a structure built specifically for board preparation rather than general CME. Dr. Sami Alrasheedi opened the series on Inflammatory Bowel Disease, followed by Prof. Ahmed Alsarkhy on general Pediatric Gastroenterology and Dr. Norah Alrajhi on Pediatric GI Motility.
The second half of the week turned to Dr. Khalid Asiri's second Pediatric Gastroenterology session, Dr. Heba Asaad on Pediatric Nutrition, and a closing evening from Dr. Razan Bader on Pediatric Hepatology — rounding out a six-evening sweep of the content examined on pediatric gastroenterology board and fellowship examinations.
Held fully online for the tenth consecutive year, the course kept the format that has defined the series: no travel required, live faculty Q&A after every session, and a tight two-hour evening slot that let fellows and senior pediatric residents fit exam preparation around clinical duties across a working week.
The course was designed for pediatric gastroenterology fellows preparing for board examinations, senior pediatric residents rotating on gastroenterology services, and general pediatricians refreshing their GI, hepatology, and nutrition knowledge. All participants receive a Certificate of Attendance issued by the SGA.
The Society thanks Prof. AlHussaini and the full faculty — Dr. Alrasheedi, Prof. Alsarkhy, Dr. Alrajhi, Dr. Asiri, Dr. Asaad, and Dr. Bader — for a tenth consecutive year of dedicated teaching, and every candidate who gave up six evenings to prepare seriously for the board. SGA wishes all candidates success in the upcoming Saudi Pediatric Gastroenterology Board examination and its international equivalents.
