In the aim of further extending its presence in the global community of esophagology, OESO, in cooperation with PLANNING Congressi set up a program of 9 post-graduate courses in the intervals of its world congresses.

In this way, the original and fully inter-disciplinary image of OESO will be regularly applied, maintained, and vitalized.

	The first Post-graduate Course organized by OESO has been taken place in Bergamo (Italy), February 24-25, 2012, with C. PACE and C. SCARPIGNATO as Course Directors.
