A multidisciplinary online and face-to-face learning experience
Event overview
The Masterclass will impart profound knowledge on diagnostic and therapeutic management of patients with disorders of oesophagogastric motility and function according to up–to–date, multidisciplinary standards.
This intensive training programme is highly interactive for faculty and participants, maximising learning outcomes and expanding participants’ knowledge using the latest training standards. With our perfect blend of online and on-site (face-to-face) education, clinicians currently specialising in the field will be given an ultra-modern learning, networking and developing experience featuring top faculty in the field of Oesophagogastric Motility and Function.
Application is closed.
Learning objectives
- Relevant physiological and pathophysiological background
- Approach to the patient with oesophagogastric dysfunction
- Oesophageal function testing including established and new techniques (e.g. high resolution manometry, reflux measurements, impedance planimetry)
- Tests of gastroduodenal function (gastric emptying, contractility, sensitivity)
- Multidisciplinary therapy of disorders of oesophagogastric motility and function (drug therapy, physiotherapy, dietary interventions, endoscopic therapy, surgical therapy)
Target audience
- Clinicians (trainee neuro-gastroenterologists, endoscopists, surgeons, radiologists) experienced in diagnosing and treating patients with oesophagogastric dysfunction (e.g., reflux disease, achalasia, gastroparesis, functional dyspepsia).
- Individuals with a specific interest in oesophagogastric motility and function upon completion of their training/fellowship in gastroenterology and hepatology (e.g., nutritional specialists).
- High motivation for interactive online and on-site learning.
CME accreditation
The UEG Masterclass on Oesophagogastric Motility and Function (Face-to-Face Course & 5 webinars) has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) with 18.5 European CME credits.
