Coeliac Disease Masterclass

General Information

Coeliac disease (CeD) continues to be an exciting field of research, combining clinics, epidemiology, immunology and genetics. CD is one of the most frequent gastrointestinal disorders in children, affecting 1% of the general population. It is estimated that, only in the EU, there are more than 5.000.000 affected. Every paediatric gastroenterologist will have patients with CeD and this master class will contribute to the improvement of the health care of this big group of patients.
The first master class took place in Valencia, Spain, in 2018 and was hugely successful. The second Master Class will focus on new facets which have been added to the knowledge of CeD since then and include discussions of outstanding questions and presentation of challenging clinical cases by the participants.
The course language is English.

COVID-19 Information

COVID-19 has proven challenging in the organisation of onsite courses in the past year. ESPGHAN remains dedicated to the realisation of our educational programme without compromising the health of our delegates.
We are carefully monitoring the developments and follow the recommendations and information provided by the national Health Authorities, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). Preparations for an onsite course are proceeding as planned at this point. Applicants will be updated on any potential changes to the format of the school.
As the number of participants is a critical part in the planning and realisation of our schools, we encourage all interested HCPs to apply. If the situation does not allow for the responsible realisation of onsite participation, your application will be valid for virtual participation. Registration fees will be reimbursed or adapted accordingly. 
For more information please contact the ESPGHAN Office.
