OESO and Stanford Medicine propose to the scientific community

an innovative tool,

a major joint training and educational project:

THE OESO-SEMPIRE

Virtual Educational Channel

OESO and the OESO-SEMPIRE Platform of Excellence in Esophagology

continue to be a trail blazer

in all fields of Esophagology.

 

A new model of Education has come forward

with the OESO-SEMPIRE Virtual Educational Channel.

 

Indeed, going beyond the traditional series of presentations one after the other,

the clinical case of a patient becomes the focal point of interest: it becomes
the starting point of a two hour intense educational interaction between top experts,

punctuated by comments and questions by a worldwide floor
