Description
This is a school following the new model of ‘flip-class’ with an active participation of the fellows who have to answer a complex question related to a real case. They are working in a group of 5 under the supervision of a faculty and they have to present their answers the next day in front of an extended faculty with specialists from other disciplines.
Vascular liver diseases are a diverse group of diseases which are frequent in clinical practice and complex, multidisciplinary in their management. With the large availability of ultrasonography, these diseases are more and more recognized and hepatologists should know how to handle them. They should also be aware of the limitations of the current knowledge and the area which could be better researched.
Who should attend?
The target audience for this school are hepatologists, clinical scientists and transplant hepatologists in training in European liver units.
The attendees who will most profit from this school are fellows in training to become hepatologists. Given the topic of the school (vascular liver diseases) one can also consider radiologist and pathologists in training who have a special interest in liver diseases. The same is true regarding pediatric hepatology.
Learning Objectives
This school will provide an in-depth analysis of 6 real cases of patients with vascular liver diseases.
The fellows will be updated on the current evidence-based practices and the literature leading to recommendations. The fellows will be engaged in discussions with experts from different specialities involved in the management of these patients. It is expected that the attendees will gain awareness and familiarity in the management of vascular liver diseases.
