Course Overview

The ESO Masterclass is a full immersion, clinical oriented event designed for paediatric oncologists with 3–4 years of experience in oncology who would like to receive further training on the treatment of children tumours from a multidisciplinary point of view.

The programme exposes participants to a full spectrum of issues in paediatric oncology and to practice-oriented training.
The Masterclass is organized into:

• Plenary lectures on state-of-the-art clinical treatments with reference to clinical guidelines given by renowned international faculty.
• Interactive workshop on communication
• Clinical case presentations/tumour board simulation where each participant presents and discusses a case with an international faculty of top experts in each tumour type.

The Masterclass is divided into two educational parts:

• Pre-recorded online lectures
• In-person event

The online lectures are released before the in-person event to give each participant the opportunity to prepare themselves in their own time and at their own place.

The in-person event is held in the style of a 2-and-half-day ‘retreat’, giving participants the opportunity to begin building an international oncology network as well as the chance to interact with renowned faculty in an informal environment over a number of days.

A fee of 250,00 euros covers:

The fee does not cover travel costs: these should be organized and paid by the participant.

The registration fee for this event is a small contribution towards the cost for organising it, therefore it will not be refunded if a participant withdraws or is unable to attend, for whatever reason.
