OMED E-Newsletter Issue 2, 2009: ICE2011

Endoscopy cuts across the borders of medicine, surgery, pathology, pediatrics, geriatrics, nutrition, and radiology. Endoscopy is the motor that drives gastroenterology and surgical endoscopy is one of the most rapidly growing fields in medicine. This era of cooperation between surgeons and gastroenterologists is bringing these large specialties into closer relations. We invite everyone to join us in this celebration to learn, participate and meet colleagues who are making advances for better patient care through endoscopy.

We are standing on the threshold of huge changes in the field of endoscopy and we will show to the world the tremendous strides that have been made in endoscopy and let everybody know what we have accomplished, where we have been, and where we are going in the future.

ICE2011 will have a strong scientific program providing multiple interactions, involving all constituents of the endoscopic community. There are planned meetings, symposia, state of the art lectures and multiple live sessions by experts from various parts of the world, who will telecast advances in endoscopy, advances in surgery, and the state of combined approaches to gastrointestinal diseases.

Young clinicians and surgeons will join the ICE2011 in a specially designed program to provide in depth education in this field and will be integrated fully into the Congress.
