About

Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends, Last week we had amazing four days at Alp, Blattendürren, Urnäsch, Switzerland! The ''1st ESES Postgraduate Camp in Endocrine Surgery'': Eleven young surgeons who have devodes themselves to Endocrine Surgery and willing to take the UEMS Board Exam did it perfect, under the mentorship of Thomas Clerici, Andrea Goldmann and Özer Makay. Thanks to our young ones who showed deep interest and gave positive feedback. This organization would also not be possible without the support of ESES Presidency and Education Committee. If you want to be at the second camp next year to get prepared for the European Board Exam, stay tuned and join the European Society of Endocrine Surgeons (ESES) at https://www.eses.cc.
