Endoscopy Learning Zone

Endoscopy Learning Zone

After the success of the Endoscopy Learning Zone (ELZ) at ESPGHAN 2023, we are delighted to host it again at ESPGHAN 2024 in Milan.

The Endoscopy Learning Zone allows for hands-on, practical training in various diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy techniques:

The hands-on training is performed on biological models and mannequins to achieve optimum simulation and interaction. The training is supervised by some of the most experienced paediatric endoscopists in all of Europe and will be performed in small groups to improve your skills in diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures.

Participation at the ELZ is limited due to room capacity and available to a total of 114 participants, split into 4 sessions. Therefore, and due to its high popularity, we kindly ask that everybody registered will not miss their confirmed session time.
