Members have access to the electronic version of 'Coloproctology, the European Manual of Medicine'. The second edition  launched in 2017 and is accessible to members for free. The content of the manual will serve as the backbone for the educational resource and will be linked to various other ESCP resources, such as meeting presentations and keynote lectures. In addition, members have full access to most presentations and video material of the annual meeting as well.</p> <p><strong><a href="/members/resources">Visit the resource library</a></strong></p> <h2>ESCP Masterclasses</h2> <p>After the first ESCP masterclass (a combined effort between ESCP and ECCO) in Moscow in April 2015 at the International Congress of the Russian Association of Coloproctology, the concept of regional masterclasses has developed further. The aim is to offer teaching modules to national societies. Masterclasses have taken place in 2016 in Katowice, Poland. in 2017 Almeria, Spain and Budapest, Hungary. In 2018 Stockholm, Sweden and Rome, Italy. In 2019 Antalya, Turkey and Cardiff, UK. In 2021 Lisbon, Portugal and Paris, France. In 2022 Oslo, Norway. In 2023 Malmö, Sweden.

Subsequently those holding the diploma are called fellows of the ESCP and those without the diploma are called members. All candidates who pass the EBSQ are called fellows.</p> <p>The curriculum for the ESBQ Coloproctology examination has been revised and is aligned with the content of the European Manual of Medicine Coloproctology and the website of the society.</p> <p><strong><a href="/education/ebsq-examinations">More about the EBSQ coloproctology examination</a></strong></p> <h2>CME Credits for ESCP
