Emerging Stars

The WEO Education Committee, under the leadership of Professor Ibrahim Mostafa, Egypt, developed the Emerging Stars Program to give a group of promising young doctors the skills to become leaders in digestive endoscopy, and eventually to form a network of “next generation” expert endoscopists.

The course consists of three modules of intensive face-to-face training over eighteen months. Each module lasts six or seven days and takes place in a different city around the world. During the course, participants are encouraged to enter into multi-center research projects and to develop publication and communication skills.

“This course was a fantastic experience, which exceeded my expectations in every way. The course gives you the tools to work in a challenging environment where you need to combine not only endoscopic skills, but also organizational skills, educational and scientific work and emotional intelligence.”
