Dear colleagues,

Amsterdam Live Endoscopy welcomes you for its 4th edition, as always, just before Christmas.  This edition promises again to be an interesting and highly educational event in a pleasant surrounding with 10 renowned guest endoscopists of the highest international standing and of course with the support of our own AMC faculty.

Having learned from the previous three courses, we are all set to provide you with a learning experience of the highest standards, focussing on diagnostic and interventional endoscopy techniques.  Eight sessions of 1 to 1 1/2 hours of live demonstrations will give you insight in a wide variety of endoscopic procedures and challenges, clearly explained by the performing endoscopists while doing the procedure at the Endoscopy department of the Academic Medical Center and discussed more in depth by our panellists at the Okura hotel.

Amsterdam Live Endoscopy is meant for doctors as well as endoscopy nurses and we hope to welcome many doctor-nurse teams.  The entire endoscopy team at AMC as well as at the Okura hotel are ready to receive you in December.  Please ask around and we hope you will hear favourable critiques of our previous courses.  Come and visit it yourself this time!

Yours sincerely, Paul Fockens, chairman
