The participants attended the Euroson School Course Guidelines in Gastroenterological
ultrasound in the Aula Magna of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova,
Romania. The videoprojection was provided by The Ultrasound Centre of The University
of Medicine and Pharmacy Craiova - 4 videoprojectors and 4 PC-laptops.
The syllabus of the Euroson School Gastroenterological Course was produced one month
earlier and was offered free to all the participants. They also had a special congress-bag
with promotional and writing materials.
The course organisation was managed by an organising committee of the The Ultrasound
Centre of The University of Medicine and Pharmacy Craiova.
The observer from EFSUMB was Prof. Lucas Greiner, Honorary Secretary. The target level
of education was advanced with presentations fully illustrated with images. There
were 22 topics concerning the main guidelines in gastroenterological ultrasound presented
by 14 speakers.
Before the course and at the end of all lectures the participants attended two written
multiple choice tests, each of them consisting of 20 questions. All the participants
passed the test (their scores were >58% in the first and >76% in the later one), and
were awarded a certificate of achievement. The course was credited with 12 CME credits
by the Romanian College of Physicians.
The sponsors helped us to offer a social programme to the participants throughout
the course. A special Course Dinner was organised in the University Staff House of
Craiova for all the participants.
