The 9th ECCO Advanced Course in IBD for residents, fellows in gastroenterology and junior faculty will take place in Dublin, Ireland from February 23 – 24, 2011, just prior to our next Congress.
Since ECCO wants to make the Course as attractive for the participants as possible we will limit the number for participants of each country to 2 and will leave three seats for countries with a population of over 50Mio people (this includes: Italy, France, Germany, Russia, UK and Turkey) in order to provide for a more interactive atmosphere during the course.
Also for the first time there will be minimum criteria for the nomination and selection of participants which have been agreed on by the ECCO education committee.
The nominated student should be:
- Trainees at least in their third year with preferably one year GI experience
- Should demonstrate a sufficient level of English to follow the course
- Should preferably be or become member of ECCO
In addition each applicant will have to hand in a CV (containing contact details, position and information about their hospital affiliation) and a letter of intent.
Please send all the applications directly to the ECCO office ( ecco@ecco-ibd.eu ) no later than October 15, 2010. On behalf of the Education Officer, Dr. Janneke van der Woude, nominated candidates will be informed about their application status by November 2, 2010.
