Workshop description
The International Bowel Ultrasound Group e.V. is planning the 3rd IBUSXP – Masterclass and certification for the experienced IUS performer in Hamburg, Germany, under the medical lead of Christian Maaser, Torsten Kucharzik and Katharina Riegler from Municipal Hospital of Lüneburg. This course is in collaboration with DVGS - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Gastroenterologie, Verdauungs- und Stoffwechselkrankheiten.
The primary aim of this workshop is to establish standardized, high-quality techniques for performing IUS examination among physicians with minimum 300 performed procedures over the last 3 years.
The workshop consists of 2 parts:
- Theoretical and didactic training: participants will engage in an interactive, self-directed eLearning course via IBUS
- Practical training: the hands-on experience component will be facilitated through an introductory face-to-face course involving sessions with patients
Upon completion of the workshop, participants will undergo theoretical and practical exams. Those who successfully pass the course will receive an IBUS Level 1 Certificate (no further Module 2 or 3 required).
