Surgical Endoscopy

Introduction

Our Mission

Our mission is to optimize and standardize endoscopy training providing gastroenterologists and surgeons with a common competency based curriculum to master diagnostic and interventional endoscopy. This curriculum will enhance the development of theoretical and practical skills and encourage interdisciplinary collaboration allowing for the selection of the best treatment options for patient well-being in the current socio-economic context.

This program presents a unique opportunity for general and gastrointestinal surgery residents, fellows and practicing physicians to learn basic and advanced endoscopic skills to form a foundation in the practice of flexible endoscopy while introducing cutting edge techniques such as ESD, POEM, endoscopic suturing, ERCP and EUS. The curriculum can be customized according to the student’s background, experience and needs.
