    The United European Gastroenterology Week (UEG Week), the largest European meeting of gastroenterology, has every year a special area dedicated to ultrasound education. With EFSUMB cooperation the Ultrasound Learning Area promotes the role of ultrasound as a major diagnostic and interventional tool in gastroenterology. The centre offers a basic course and an advanced course of ultrasound for the gastroenterologist, organized by Prof. Dieter Nürnberg (Germany), Prof. Odd Helge Gilja (Norway) and Prof. Ioan Sporea (Romania), with lectures and hands on training. The centre also offers lectures on specific topics, presented by expert gastroenterologists, such as Gastrointestinal US (GIUS), US in Pancreatic Diseases, Elastography & POCUS.
