Postgraduate Course Program
Calling Advanced Trainees, Fellows, Junior and experienced consultants, Fellows, and General Practitioners, – GESA is thrilled to announce the return of our Postgraduate Course, to be held in Adelaide on Friday 13 September 2024!
Launched in 2023, this is the second year of a four-year curriculum, providing a comprehensive foundation to the management of commonly encountered Gastroenterological conditions in Australia. This course is well suited towards consultants seeking a refresher on the fundamentals of clinical practice in Gastroenterology and Hepatology.
The topics are practical and mainstream, from clinical management to essential clinical practice principles, and the course content highlights management options, therapeutic choices, and tips and hints from experienced clinicians.
This year's course and future courses will be recorded to develop a comprehensive Gastrointestinal resource at your disposal. Delegates will be able to access the postgraduate video library on-demand.
