Additional Information
1. Team Philosophy
Team members: Participants are encouraged to register in “teams” composed of a minimally invasive surgeon and an interventional gastroenterologist (Maximum number of persons per team is 2). As teamwork is considered an important aspect of the workshop, persons may take advantage of the reduced fee by joining forces. All participants are required to register for the workshop individually, whether as part of a team or not. When registering, persons who wish to participate in teams will be required to insert the name of their partner in the allocated field. Should the person assigned as partner not register for the workshop, the person registering as team member will be required to pay the individual registration fee. The outstanding balance will be payable by September 30, 2012.
