ULTRASOUND LEARNING AREA PROGRAMME


Saturday 8 October 2022

Ultrasonography for the Gastroenterologist


The Ultrasound Learning Area promotes the role of a major diagnostic and interventional tool in
gastroenterology: clinical ultrasonography in the hands of the gastroenterologist.

This year the Ultrasound Learning Area returns to the onsite format and offers basic and
postgraduate courses on ultrasonography, individual handson training and special lectures in
abdominal ultrasonography. The programme is designed for both young and senior
gastroenterologists, with or without experience in ultrasonography.

Main topics of the special lectures are the role of ultrasound in liver diseases and interventional
ultrasound.

The Ultrasound Learning Area is run in cooperation with EFSUMB.
