EuroPit 2022 - 10 year anniversary
Faculty on stage at EuroPit 2022
EuroPit celebrated its 10th anniversary
EuroPit is ten years old! Since 2012, this course has been held, in November, at “Les Pensières”, a conference centre in the Merieux family’s house, in Annecy, France.
Three hundred young doctors (endocrinologists, neurosurgeons and pathologists) came from 16 European countries last November. Thirty-seven European experts (endocrinologist, neurosurgeons and pathologist) shared their knowledge with the delegates – all who have an orientation in the pituitary field. The selection, based on clinical experience and publications is very stringent. This year we received 90 applications for 30 places.
Every year, 95-100% of the participants considered EuroPit to be excellent. They go back having increased their experience for a better multidisciplinary management of their patients with pituitary pathology. EuroPit is “unique” because the fellows and the teachers stay together over the three days, working in the conference room, having discussions after talks and case reports and during coffee breaks and lunches. Everybody works very hard (27 talks and 30 case reports in three days!), but in a gentle atmosphere and in a beautiful place.
The spirit of EuroPit is to share knowledge, give advice for each fellow’s career and stimulate the creation of networks between endocrinologists, neurosurgeons and pathologists, who are managing pituitary disorders, throughout Europe.
During these 10 years, Marta Korbonits, Michael Buchfelder, who chair this course with me (Jacqueline Trouillas), along with Vera Popovic, Gérald Raverot, Emmanuel Jouanneau and Christian Strasburger of the ESE Science Committee and the 16 teachers, who come every year, with the help of the ESE staff, and the financial support of Ipsen and Recordati Rare Diseases, made my dream a reality.
We are pleased to announce that the case report winners were:
1st: Tea Shehu (Albania)
Joint 2nd: Stefan Matei Constantinescu (Belgium) and Francesco Calvanese (Italy)
