France has been selected to host the ESGE-YEP Exchange Programme 2024, dedicated to advancing knowledge in the field of gynaecological endoscopy. Renowned for its exceptional contributions to medical science and education, France stands as a beacon of excellence for professionals and scientists in this specialised field.
France is home to a vibrant medical community and has contributed to numerous breakthroughs and innovations in the field of gynaecological endoscopy, following the inception of laparoscopy in Clermont-Ferrand more than 30 years ago.
During your time in France, you will have the unique opportunity to engage with distinguished experts and researchers in gynaecological endoscopy. The host cities, including Paris, Marseille, Lille, Nimes, Reims, Angers, Nice, Rouen, St. Etienne, Limoges, Clermont-Ferrand, Lyon and Nancy, serve as hubs of medical excellence, housing world-renowned universities, research institutions, and specialised clinics. These vibrant cities offer a conducive environment for scientific discourse and collaboration, allowing you to expand your network and foster meaningful professional connections.
In addition to the academic pursuits, France invites you to experience its renowned cultural heritage. Immerse yourself in the captivating beauty of historical landmarks, and of course enjoy French cuisine and wines. From architectural marvels to renowned art museums, France’s cultural tapestry will enrich your stay and offer a well-rounded experience beyond the scientific realm.
The ‘Exchangees’ are encouraged to arrive on Tuesday evening (22nd October) and stay until Friday 25th of October in their host hospital. During the working hours, the ‘Exchangees’ will be in the hospital with their contact person. After the hospital’s hours, the social programme will include sightseeing tours, integration in the city culture and lifestyle, enjoying daily life, etc. The scope and type of the social programme might vary from city to city.
