This course aims to improve the quality and reporting of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, promoting an increase in the gastric cancer detection rate. It is intended for medical specialists in gastroenterology practising in European countries, particularly those who are actively involved in clinical training of peers in upper GI endoscopy and/or hold leadership roles in gastric cancer screening/early diagnosis. The course was developed within the framework of the European Joint Action on Cancer Screening (EUCanScreen), funded by the European Commission.

The course will consist of three editions, combining asynchronous webinars, peer assessment of clinical cases, one live interactive webinar, and a two-day in-person module including lectures and workshops. The face-to-face sessions will take place in Porto (1st and 3rd editions) or in Kaunas (2nd edition).

Participation does not require payment of tuition fees, and travel/accommodation costs for the in-person component may be funded by the project.
