WEO and Emerging Stars
Emerging Stars was developed by the Education Committee of the World Endoscopy Organization (WEO).
The WEO Education Committee under the leadership of Professor Ibrahim Mostafa, Egypt, has developed the Emerging Stars Program to provide a group of promising young doctors the skills to become leaders in the field of digestive endoscopy and eventually form a network of “next generation” expert endoscopists.
Professor Ibrahim Mostafa, the education chair of the WEO, secured funding for the course from PENTAX and Boston Scientific. A task force was then formed from members of the WEO education committee and met in Istanbul and Vienna in 2014 for discussions and planning. Announcement of applications was made through Centers of Excellence, regional member societies, the WEO website and e-mail newsletters in March 2015.
The stars are a group of promising doctors in the field of digestive endoscopy, under the auspices of the WEO Education Committee and the leadership of Professor Ibrahim Mostafa.
