This biennial symposium is designed to provide participants a comprehensive education in endosonography. The meeting will have eight components – live demonstrations, sessions on future innovations, state-of-the-art lectures, breakfast sessions, interactive luncheon sessions, industry-sponsored symposiums, self-assessment, and hands-on training. To maximize the educational experience and ensure optimal procedural outcomes, a major focus at live demonstrations will be to teach critical procedural steps and technical nuances.
