Advanced Endoscopy Fellows Course 2026

Advanced Endoscopy Fellows Course is organized by American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) and will be held from Sep 19 - 20, 2026 at ASGE Institute for Training and Technology (IT&T), Downers Grove, Illinois, United States of America.

Description:
Advanced endoscopy has become a popular career choice with a growing number of applicants. Dedicated third-tier Advanced Endoscopy fellowships (AEF) originated in the 1980s and initially focused on teaching diagnostic ERCP. However, the ?eld 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 require a dedicated year in AE.

Primarily designed for Advanced Endoscopy Fellows, this program offers a unique opportunity for those who are enrolled as an advanced/interventional endoscopy fellowship programs or who are interested in pursuing this option from within the standard GI fellowship journey. During this course, leaders in the field of advanced endoscopy will guide participants through a variety of hands-on endoscopic techniques using cutting-edge technologies, while practicing video editing skills. Case-based lectures by renowned faculty will be held in an intimate and collegial atmosphere. In exchange for this excellent opportunity, fellows are expected to submit a video to the DDW video forum. 

Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to:

• Incorporate cognitive and hands-on skills acquired in advanced into the rest of their advanced fellowship year and into their early years of independent practice
• Recognize the importance of video recording for educational purposes and acquire practical tips to select appropriate cases and develop skills to use in one’s career
