WALTER MARGET EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOP

Monday – Tuesday, October 26 – 27, 2020, by Invitation Only

Every year ESPID sponsors 50 selected trainees at the Annual Meeting for the educational workshop, which is clinically oriented with a lot of interaction between them and faculty.

Walter Marget Educational Workshop leader faculty have been selected by the ESPID Committee for Education. Each workshop leader is an outstanding clinician with extensive experience in the field of paediatric infectious diseases.

Our aim is to promote more shared learning. 4 breakout sessions of case presentations is an increased opportunity for in-depth discussions, with a maximum of 50 participants per session, including the Walter Marget Educational Workshop members, a Young ESPID co-chair and a small number of trainees, invited to present an overview of a recent international guideline.

Please see agenda via the interactive programme here.
