Experts' Meetings
The purpose of these meetings is to provide
recommendations for improved clinical practice. Appointed
experts will be at work throughout the year preceding the
congress and their conclusions will be presented during a
plenary session (WHO-EUROGIN session). The written
conclusions of these meetings will be available during the
congress.

Training Courses and Workshops
For clinicians, pre-congress courses
aim to provide educational strategies, acquisition of skills
and an update of expertise in line with the aims of
Continuing Medical Education. This should enable
participants to integrate into their clinical practice, the
terminology, basic and advanced principles of
instrumentation, normal and abnormal colposcopic patterns as
well as diagnosis and management of cervical and vulvar
diseases.
For pathologists and
virologists, the course comprises a
comprehensive introduction to cervical cytopathology,
terminology, laboratory quality standards, normal and
abnormal patterns of cervical cytology with both
conventional smears and liquid based cytology. Case studies
of cyto-histological correlations and HPV-testing
applications will be presented.
Each course is followed by a workshop, an interactive "touch
pad" session for course participants. The faculty will
present and discuss cases of cervical and vulvar diseases,
to which the audience will attempt to find the correct
diagnosis and management practice.

Seminars Sponsored by
the WHO and the UICC
- These sessions are open to
everyone involved in organizing cervical
screening.
- The aims are :
- - To initiate dialogue and
provide opportunity for exchanging experiences.
- - To assess the medical and
economic advantages of the programs.
- - To discuss the
feasibility of rational approaches to optimizing both
cytological management of the disease and quality
assurance, taking into consideration the role of
recent technology and economic necessities.
