We are excited to welcome you to the “GastroNews: From Bench to Bedside” workshop, a two-day journey into the latest developments in Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Endoscopy, and Ultrasound.
Our program combines lectures, interactive sessions, and hands-on experiences to equip you with updated knowledge and practical skills.
Day 1 will focus on Gastroenterology and Endoscopy, covering topics such as AI in GI imaging and personalized medicine in IBD. Dedicated sessions with excellent experts will showcase the future of endoscopy and ultrasound, including combined endoscopic ultrasound and fusion imaging techniques.
Day 2 shifts to Hepatology, exploring hepatitis management and hepato-bilio-pancreatic tumors. The day ends with a comprehensive hands-on endoscopy experience in the field of interventional endoscopy (hemostasis and polypectomy, endoscopic mucosal resection [EMR] and endoscopic submucosal dissection [ESD]), as well as ultrasound training (fusion imaging, guided biopsy, radiofrequency ablation).
We’re thrilled to facilitate networking opportunities, including an informal cocktail reception with our speakers. Join us for this enriching workshop, where deep learning meets interlinked collaboration.
