The ESGE once again presented educational activities at the 16th UEGW in Paris. Please find below information regarding ESGE activities at the ESGE Learning Area.
ESGE Learning Area
The ESGE Learning Area was open during all active days of the UEGW. In accordance with the statutory aims of the ESGE to promote good endoscopy and to give endoscopists in Europe and beyond as many opportunities as possible to increase their awareness of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, to practice their skills and to participate in a communications network, this area at the UEGW served endoscopic educational purposes. The main activities are outlined below. In past years the ESGE Learning Area has attracted an increasing number of attendees and participants, especially in the scheduled activities.
ESGE Hands-On Training on Biologic Models (in cooperation with ESGENA)
Saturday, 18 and Sunday, 19, 2008
The ESGE Hands-on Training Sessions with biologic models represented the fanfare opening of the ESGE Learning Area on Saturday.
