Meet the surgeon

Meet_the Surgeon_WEB_lista

Webinars are one of the best tools we have to communicate knowledge these days. They are much better structured now than the first ones from the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and, nowadays, we can presume these meetings are presented with great quality and rigorous science. By keeping our members updated on many topics, webinars help us pursue the ESGO mission to share knowledge and improve the quality of care for our patients.

 

The Educational Committee will present our already classic Meet the Surgeon webinar four times per year, usually on the last Thursday of the month at 6:00 pm CET.
These webinars afford us an excellent opportunity to share, from the hands of an expert, a specific surgical technique or surgical-related topic from our subspecialty.

In these 60-minute live webinars, leading surgeons will present and discuss with participants their approach to specific surgical techniques in gynaecological oncology.

 

The webinars will include:
30-minute presentation of the surgical technique and approach, including real case videos, to demonstrate practical tips and recommendations.
30-minute discussion and Q&A, in which participants will be able to send questions to the surgeon during the webinar.

 

And, please, take the polls before and during the webinar to prepare for the discussion!!
