Dear EUS-fanatics,

Our course will be celebrating its 15th anniversary. We have again invited a small but exquisite faculty with doctors Hawes, Varadarajulu and Brugge from the USA, doctors Napoleon and Palazzo from France and doctor Rösch from Germany. Together with our AMC faculty consisting of doctors Bergman, van Hooft, Krishnadath and Tytgat, we are sure to again present you with high-level postgraduate education in a friendly as well as critical atmosphere

We look forward to seeing you (again) in June 2012 in Amsterdam!
