HESPERIS Course 2023

Start Date:
Thursday, April 20th 2023 at 09:00
End Date:
Saturday, April 22nd 2023 at 16:30
Country:
Budapest, Hungary
Description & Objectives:

HESPERIS 2023 is offered in a blended format, with a wide range of online preparatory materials provided to participants. However, the majority of the experience and learning will be provided over the course of three days spent in Budapest in-person. While didactic lectures are offered, the in-person experience includes many interactive sessions bringing participants in direct contact with international experts in many different transplant fields.

Relative to previous editions, more time is dedicated to topics related to cardiothoracic organ transplant; transplant anesthesia, including recipient optimisation; and value-based care. Other topics of focus include transplant immunology, indications, organ donation, preservation, recipient management, and regenerative medicine.

By taking this course, participants will gain an extensive view of transplantation and will be able to adopt a multidisciplinary approach to implement into their own transplant centres.

The European Board of Transplant Medicine of the Division of Transplantation of the UEMS recommends HESPERIS as preparatory course for the Exam on Transplant Medicine.

To promote active engagement and to stimulate close interaction among attendees and educators, this course is limited to 45 attendees.

Requirements and award:

To enhance interaction and participation, learners will be invited to submit clinical cases for discussion on the main topics of the course, and to present them onsite. The best one will be awarded with the “Paolo Muiesan Award for the Best Case Study Presentation” which consists in a free ESOT membership and free registration for the ESOT Congress 2023 (Athens, 17-20 September 2023).

In preparation for the in-person portion of the course:

Participants are encouraged to take advantage of the online material and to select the topics they wish to delve into depending on their needs and expertise. Each unit includes three to five lectures, each complemented by a selection of readings, a self-assessment quiz, and the slides provided by the faculty. Please note that the online programme and activities are not a requirement, but rather an additional resource made available to participants.

 

Target Group:

Physicians, surgeons, scientists and specialist doctors who are entering the field of transplantation and wish to further their career.

The scientific programme is available below.
