This complimentary program is an educational opportunity to learn from leaders in the field of advanced endoscopy. It is designed for those who are enrolled as an advanced/interventional endoscopy fellowship programs or who are interested in pursuing this option. Advanced endoscopy has become a popular career choice with a growing number of applicants. Dedicated third-tier AE fellowships (AEF) originated in the 1980s and initially focused on teaching diagnostic ERCP. However, the field of AE has grown to encompass many techniques, including ERCP, diagnostic EUS, EUS-guided drainage diagnostics and therapeutics, cholangiopancreatoscopy, enteral stenting, small-bowel enteroscopy, and EMR and ablation. It is also growing into third spacing, ESD and POEM. These procedures are technically demanding and require a special skill set, and the require a dedicated year in AE is now apparent.
AEF allows trainees to develop the skill sets that are necessary for research and practice in therapeutic endoscopy, including video editing and learning cutting-edge endoscopic techniques. In exchange for this excellent opportunity, fellows are expected to submit a video to the DDW video forum.
Participants must be in their fourth year of fellowship and/or third year if you applied to the AEF Match program for registration at the time of this course. To register, please send an email to membership@asge.org with “Advanced Endoscopy Fellows Registration” in the subject line.
