TGD-Marseille-Europe EUS Fellowship: New Term Applications Now Open!

Upon the completion of the current scholarship period at the end of November 2026, all scholarship recipients will have completed their training. Our members who have completed their training have begun to transfer the knowledge and experience they gained into their clinical practices.

To this end, we continue to maintain our overseas training scholarship program to enable our members to closely follow international scientific developments to enhance their knowledge and experience, and to learn about current developments in gastroenterology on-site and increase experience sharing.

As a continuation of this successful process, new applications for the 2027 EUS training scholarship period have begun.

The deadline for applications for the new period is September 30, 2026, and applications must be sent along with the required documents to [email protected].
