Statewide Education Program
We held our statewide Actelion Education Program this last Saturday, Oct. 25 in Jefferson City with Dr. Richard McCallum, Professor of medicine and director of the Center for Gastrointestinal Nerve and Muscle Function at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas. Dr. McCallum's presentation on "Scleroderma and the Gut" was more than just interesting – it afforded us the opportunity to understand how food travels throughout our body and how scleroderma can impede some of the movement. Dr. McCallum told us of some of the ways motility is measured and then how a course of action is determined. All this information was so very helpful to anyone with gastric problems and scleroderma, which was most of us there.
