“GEST Symposium annually attracts with its global perspective on endovascular therapies. Excellent opportunities to attend master-class lectures, participate in embolization workshops, and get to know some of the most prominent IR physicians during the small-group discussions. The conference takes its pride in actively engaging residents and students involving them in the development of the program and offering a podium to present at the case conferences. Love being a part of the inspiring GEST community!”
