4th International Teaching Course on Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

5 Φεβρουαρίου 2016 - 6 Φεβρουαρίου 2016

WELCOME INVITATION

Dear Colleagues,

The Hellenic Society of Gastrointestinal Oncology (HSGO), the Endoscopy Section of the Hellenic Society of Gastroenterology (ES‐HSG) and the Experimental‐Research Center ELPEN, Athens, as part of their educational activities are organizing an annual endoscopy training of two days duration for two groups of participants, with practical implementation in animal models (swines).

This educational activity follows the 1st Teaching Course on GI Endoscopy, organized by the HSGO on 2009 and two more, organized by the scientific bodies mentioned above (also in the Experimental ‐ Research Center ELPEN, Athens). The present course is launched under the auspices of the European Society of Digestive Oncology (ESDO), and the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE), and is granted with CME points.

During the course, participants will have the opportunity to be trained in a number of current endoscopic techniques. All endoscopic techniques will be performed under the direct supervision of well‐known trainers from Greece, Japan, Czech Republic and United Kingdom.
The theoretical part of the endoscopic procedures will precede the practical training.

The techniques, in which the participants will be trained, comprise new methods of GI endoscopy such as Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR), Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD), Clipping – Stenting techniques, Endoscopic polypectomy and POEM (Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy).

This course is primarily addressed to gastroenterologists‐endoscopists who wish to broaden their knowledge in endoscopy and also the last two‐year residents in gastroenterology.

We are delighted to welcome you to participate in this exciting educational activity aiming to set new directions in the continuous education of Greek gastroenterologists and also from abroad. It is our pleasure to thank our Major Sponsors Olympus & Proton Hellas for their valuable assistance to organize this course. Also we would like to thank our Sponsors, ELPEN Pharmaceuticals, Cook Medical (A & L Medical Supplies S.Α.) and Βoston Scientific for their support.
