Obesity Day 2020

For it’s third wintersymposium, BeSOMS joined forces with BASO to organise an “Obesity Day”. Besides the parallel sessions, the scientific program of the joint sessions is focused on multidisciplinarity and overlapping subjects in the (surgical) treatment of obesity and metabolic disorders and its complications. Together, BeSOMS and BASO were able to attract several national and international experts to give state of the art lectures in this field as you can find in the program below. Don’t miss out!
