Master di II livello in Ecoendoscopia Diagnostica A.A. 2025/2026

The master in Diagnostic Endoscopic Ultrasound was an experience so valuable for me. It gave me the opportunity to acquire up-to-date theoretical knowledge and most importantly gain practical skills in EUS, under the guidance of exceptional team of expert gastroenterologists. High volume of cases and possibility of performing large number of EUS examinations during the 4-month-long hands-on training was indispensable. The repetition during a full year long program, under the eye of dedicated physicians with huge experience in the field of pancreato-biliary diseases, is the only way to build the steady hand and confidence required to perform EUS procedures safely and effectively on your own and to integrate diagnostic, therapeutic EUS as well as ERCP interventions, into multidisciplinary treatment plan, making real-time decisions that directly impact patient outcomes. During the program, I was able to get exposure to huge variety of difficult diagnostic and therapeutic cases and learn how to manage them independently. Here at Vita-Salute San Raffaele University you can gain appropriate and valuable skills in a pleasant environment from expert teaching endosonographers. It has been an intensive year requiring a lot of dedication and commitment, but I definitely recommend the master’s program to those wishing to learn EUS and advance their medical careers with this essential diagnostic and therapeutic method.

The Master in Diagnostic Endoscopic Ultrasound at Ospedale San Raffaele is allowing me to learn an innovative method that is nowadays fundamental in the fields of oncology and gastroenterology. This Master’s highest value is given by the considerable volume of endoscopic ultrasound procedures performed in Prof Arcidiacono's division, by the clinical complexity of the cases managed as well as by the excellence in technical quality and clinical competence of the doctors who are acting as my trainers. In addition to this, there is also the possibility of getting to be familiar with and utilizing extremely valid medical devices. Furthermore, the program prepares for diagnostic and interventional ultrasound endoscopy procedures and techniques which are absolutely cutting edge. Finally, attending a 16 week hands-on training represents the guarantee of actually acquiring- at the end of it- the theoretical and practical skills that would otherwise be very difficult to come to have! The Master requires a big commitment time and energy-wise but it's so worth it!
