6 fully equipped EUS Stations will be available and run under supervision of a selected Team of Trainers who will guide the participants through all the EUS Stations. The hands-on activity will cover all the topics of diagnostic and therapeutic EUS. Different set of animal models will allow participants to perform an extensive hands-on training program on: EUS-core biopsy, Pancreatic Cyst FNA, FNA of solid lesions: pancreatic mass, liver mass and lymph node, Pancreatic pseudocyst drainage: plastic stents, Pancreatic pseudocyst drainage, Accessory imaging devices, EUS-guided biliary access and EUS fiducials. All the state-of-the-art EUS instruments will be available to try during the sessions

Directors: Jose Lariño-Noia, Julio Iglesias-Garcia, Yessica Dominguez-Novoa

Station 1: Anatomy model and tip and tricks for EUS guided sampling (FNA and FNB)

Station 2: Improving EUS guided draining techniques (LAMS and more)

Station 3: EUS guided therapy
