Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of ourselves and Professor Marek Ruchała, Chair of Polish Society of Endocrinology and Professor Bogdan Marek, Chair of Silesian Society of Endocrinology, we are very pleased to invite you to the Teaching Course on Pituitary Diseases, which will take place in Krakow, on December 4th-5th, 2020.
The course focused on all aspects of the diagnostic and treatment of pituitary diseases is directed towards by a multidisciplinary team involving endocrinologists, radiologists, neurosurgeons, pathologists, radiation therapists, and molecular biologists. Experts of paediatric medicine will present specific aspects of pituitary tumours in children and young adults as well as peculiar aspects of treatment during adolescence. Distinguished specialists invited as speakers should answer at least a part of the questions related to those issues. We highlight the practice aspects with special regard to cases presentations.
The course is also an opportunity to interact with colleagues, to share experience, and to make new scientific and professional connections. Last but not least, it is a chance to visit Krakow, the oldest city in Poland, with the best preserved medieval structure of the old town, unique see-sights, and incomparable atmosphere.
The conference is endorsed and supported by:
Professor Tomasz Grodzicki, Vice-P of CMUJ
Professor Maciej Małecki, Dean of Faculty of Medicine, CMUJ
Polish Society of Endocrinology
The program includes sponsored lectures
