3rd Annual Advanced Procedures in Interventional Endoscopy (APIE)

This is a unique and innovative 1 1/2 day master class and hands on workshop on advanced procedures in interventional endoscopy. Interventional endoscopy has traditionally included ercp and eus. However, the field has now expanded to more than just ercp and diagnostic eus with the development of new advanced endoscopic techniques. We have therefore designed a unique course that will provide hands on learning and education in these advanced areas:

• poem
• esd
• anti-reflux endoscopy
• endoscopic suturing
• interventional eus
• bariatric endoscopy
• advanced resection platforms

This course will offer an intimate learning experience for a small number of attendees, providing didactic lectures and ample hands on time for advanced endoscopic techniques beyond ercp and diagnostic eus. A specific focus of this program will be the next generation of endoscopic technology and devices, as well as the cutting-edge techniques used by experts in the fields. There will be extensive discussion of endoscopic techniques, devices, and instruments through lectures, videos, and hands on stations.
