Therapeutic endoscopy hands-on training labs are offered with training performed by world-renowned experts. In short, this unique course featuring superstar global endoscopists will ensure detailed and comprehensive illustration of optimal techniques to enhance endoscopic skills, while simultaneously introducing advanced and novel procedures/techniques to endoscopists.
