Motility academy 7

Dear all,
we would like to invite you to the seventh year of the Motility Academy, our traditional and popular event dedicated to motility disorders in GIT. After the last Motility Academy, we decided to switch to a two-year cycle instead of the current year and a half. From this year onwards, the MA term will be fixed at the first half of September. This year we will meet again on September 14 and 15, 2023 at the BICZ Park Golf Club in Hradec Králové (Roudničská 730, Hradec Králové).
The Motility Academy has already become a traditional meeting of users and those interested in functional diagnostic methods for GIT. The original focus on gastroenterology has become a multidisciplinary symposium, where doctors specializing in gastroenterology, ENT, allergology, pneumology, pediatrics, but also physiotherapists, senior medical staff and the professional public meet regularly.
This year too, we spread the program over two days. You can view the preliminary schedule of thematic circuits below. We will publish the final version of the program as soon as possible. During the entire meeting, the most common diagnostic tools will be available on site for individual hands-on training and consultation of your results with colleagues and application specialists present.
