Reducing the burden
Continuing education programmes provide doctors not only with information on current research results in diagnosis and therapy but also with useful multidisciplinary views and hands-on training regarding the latest technical developments. Consequently, disseminating the newest advances in the field of gastroenterology to the individual practitioners and researchers reduces the burden of digestive diseases.



Supporting promising activities
In fostering this information transfer, the UEGF Education Committee strongly relies on the collaboration of its member associations, who perform many of these activities. The Federation offers them financial aid and personal support. The UEGF Training Support programme comprises longterm partnerships of up to three years’ duration with particularly promising educational activities of member societies or other professional groups. Another branch of this programme supports initiatives which intend to employ advanced methods of teaching in gastro entero logical education. Thanks to the committee’s efforts, CME credits can be obtained for UEGF’s educational courses, and the harmonisation of training standards and evaluation is well underway.
