Workshop description
It is a pleasure to announce that the 4th Regional IBUS Nordic Module 1 Workshop will occur on December 2nd - 4th, in Helsinki, Finland. In the Nordic countries, there is a great need for education in intestinal ultrasound (IUS). We are therefore offering annual courses in Northern Europe to meet the demand for introductory workshops in intestinal ultrasound in the region.
This Regional IBUS workshop is the 1st module of the IBUS Curriculum. The workshop is arranged by experts and experienced physicians practicing intestinal ultrasound in Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Sweden, with international IUS experts, and involves presentations, interactive case demonstrations, and a heavy focus on hands-on sessions. You will learn about the IUS basics and role in diagnosis, disease monitoring, activity scoring, and complications in IBD.
The workshop is organized under the lead of Drs Clas-Göran af Björkesten, Johanna Haapamäki, Lauri Puustinen, and Rauf Samaletdin.
