UEG Week 2012
October 20 – 24
Amsterdam, Netherlands

The UEG week is traditionally one of the annual highlights for the ESGE, as this is a unique platform to provide a full range of educational activities to a large audience. We would like to encourage all those visiting the UEGW to make as much use as possible of the lectures and training sessions held in the ESGE Learning Area from the opening weekend of the congress and throughout the congress week. There is always something going on and registration is not required apart from the hands-on training sessions on biologic models on Saturday and Sunday. The activities are open to all delegates of the congress and can be visited repeatedly.

These are some things you can look forward to when visiting the ESGE Learning Area and won’t want to miss.

    Get to use the best equipment available and benefit from expert tutors. Using animal tissue and modern dummies, doctor and nurse tutors introduce you to endoscopic procedures such as polypectomy, hemostasis, EMR, ERCP, or radiofrequency ablation. This is a unique opportunity to perform standard and advanced endoscopic procedures yourself. Different types of hands-on sessions are being offered throughout the week. Be sure to bookmark the activities you are most interested in.

  • State of the art debate talks at the Lecture Theatre. Young experts present current cases or procedures with senior experts as their counterparts in debate

  • ESGE DVD Learning Centre. Case studies from the ESGE DVD Encyclopaedia are complemented by select video submissions from ASGE. This offering is ideal for individual study and special interest.
