Endo Live Roma 2016

The EETC is the first structure in Europe to be exclusively dedicated to training in Digestive Endoscopy and one of the first in the world to have been purposely designed as such. It has already been recognised as an Official Training Centre by the European Society of Digestive Endoscopy (ESGE) the World Gastroenterology Organization (WGO) and the World Endoscopy Organization (WEO). The ongoing progress and improvement of modern devices generate new technologies which require a continuous training of the operators who work in the field of Digestive Endoscopy. For this reason there is a constant request for the training and re-qualification of medical and surgical specialists through advanced and highly specialized training Courses. Since its opening in July 2003, the EETC has organized 159 Courses for endoscopists, for a total of 1880 participants and 15 Courses for Nurses.

The Training Centre’s major goals are to:

Provide a practical and theoretical training process in advanced endoscopic techniques,
Promote the implementation and diffusion of up-dated guidelines,
Support the knowledge and promotion of modern endoscopic techniques through hands-on training on isolated organs and/or electronic simulators,
Promote reaching diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms of the main endoscopic pathologies on the basis of evidence-based medicine by taking part in live demonstrations carried out by experts and broadcasted from the Endoscopy Unit,
Promote comparison of various techniques and devices,
Promote comparison of different experiences through interactive discussions with experts,
Support mutual exchange and optimisation of digestive endoscopy activities in terms of planning and management, by comparing different methods of organisation of local units.
