Welcome to the DavosCourse GI Surgery Workshop 2026

Dear colleagues,

We are delighted to invite you to the Gastrointestinal Surgery Workshop 2026, taking place from April 11 to 16 2026, in the scenic alpine and pre-spring setting of Davos.

This year’s edition of our well-established course focuses on cutting-edge developments, practice-oriented insights, and interdisciplinary exchange in the fields of gastroenterology.

DavosCourse GI is designed for both physicians in training and experienced specialists who wish to deepen and expand their knowledge while sharing expertise with colleagues from all around the world.

What to expect:

Compact, well-structured knowledge delivered by leading experts from clinical and academic settings
Interactive formats, case-based discussions, and hands-on workshops
Timely updates on the latest guidelines, therapeutic approaches, and technologies
An ideal atmosphere for personal exchange, professional growth, and fresh inspiration – far away from everyday clinical routines

Gastrointestinal Surgery Workshop offers a unique blend of scientific excellence, inspiring surroundings, and collegial dialogue – all in the heart of the Swiss Alps.

We look forward to welcoming you and to starting the 2026 continuing education year together on a high note!

Warm regards,
