Hands-On Courses“Basic” courses are dedicated to endoscopists with no or limited practice in a specific procedure. “Advanced” courses enable experiences to be expanded for those who already have basic skill in clinical practice. In each session of 120 minutes one tutor will teach 6 participants. Registration is limited due to a limited number of sessions and working stations. It will be offered on a first come – first served basis only for registered attendees of the symposium. Each participant can only book one single hands-on course. The registration fee for each course is 120,- EUR. |
