An interprofessional faculty of gastroenterology clinicians discuss real-world issues in managing patients with primary biliary cholangitis. Two mini-lectures serve as the foundation for understanding the diagnostic evaluation and risk factors of primary biliary cholangitis. Three cases foster a robust discussion, among the 5 faculty, of clinical decision-making around the roles, benefits, and limitations of approved and investigational pharmacologic treatment options. The program format fosters critical thinking and application of material to patient cases, allowing participants to benefit from the insights provided by the faculty.
