It is my pleasure to invite you to the Ninth Digestive Diseases and Endoscopy Symposium organized by New Mowasat Hospital. The Ninth Digestive Endoscopy Symposium is a two full-day postgraduate course focusing on the recent advances of digestive endoscopy and its utility in the management of related gastrointestinal diseases. The Symposium will include both lectures and interactive video case presentations.
This combination of state-of-the-art lectures, mini-symposia, unedited videos and breakout sessions will provide an excellent opportunity for discussion and interaction between participants and outstanding experts.
At the end of each day, time will be allocated to present the main take-home messages. This will be followed by related-quizzes. The winners will receive endoscopy-related gifts.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
The Symposium is designed for gastroenterologists, surgeons, internists, oncologists, pediatricians, GPs and family practitioners, radiologists, pathologists, nurses, and biomedicals.
OBJECTIVES
The learning objectives of the Symposium include:
1. Discussing indications, utility, safety and local applicability of the latest endoscopic techniques,
2. Comparing and contrasting methods for effective endoscopic management of digestive diseases and
3. Participating in an interactive discussion to evaluate multidisciplinary plans of digestive diseases management.
To encourage young physicians, two emerging gastroenterologists who are interested in digestive endoscopy will be selected to participate in different activities of the Symposium. Awardees will receive Rising Star status according to their track record of digestive endoscopy practice and research.
I believe that not a single meeting would succeed without active, enthusiastic participants. We count on your interaction to achieve our objectives.
I would like to thank all my colleagues who are involved in organizing and sponsoring the Symposium for their enthusiasm and hard work to make this occasion another successful one. Also my sincere thanks to Kuwait Gastroenterology Association (KGA), World Endoscopy Organization (WEO) and the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) for their patronage and endorsement.
Wish you all a beneficial and enjoyable meeting.
