Winter School 2024
The 2024 ESPE Winter School took place from 24-28 February 2024 in Cairo, Egypt.
The ESPE Winter School aims to support paediatricians who have entirely or partially completed their basic paediatric training and who are now either established in, or intending to develop a deep and continuing interest in paediatric endocrinology and diabetes. The course will be held over 5 days (arrival required on 23rd February and departure on 29th February) and include interactive lectures by experienced ESPE members, with the aim of covering all main topics in paediatric endocrinology. These lectures will be supplemented by small group sessions discussing teachers’ cases; and case presentations by the students.
The course also includes an introduction into clinical research with presentation by students of research proposals and projects in small groups, and presentation of selected work to the plenum.
Accommodation and meals will be provided free of charge, and travel grants will cover train or bus transport or an economy class air ticket between the participant’s home and Cairo airport. Priority will be given to applicants with evidence of a commitment to Paediatric Endocrinology through participation in clinical services or attendance at relevant meetings, and to individuals from across Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
