Florida Third Space Endoscopy Workshop
2025-11-17 - 2025-11-19 | AdventHealth Nicholson Center, 404 Celebration Place, Celebration, FL, 34747, United States
The Florida Third Space Endoscopy Workshop aims to update practicing advanced endoscopists in the latest procedures in third space endoscopy, including endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM), gastric per-oral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM), submucosal tunneling resection, and more.
The primary goal of the course is to provide a comprehensive, individualized hands-on workshop on current and emerging techniques in third space endoscopy. The course will have two different agendas: one tailored for beginners and one for those with prior exposure and clinical experience in third space endoscopy (advanced). The hands-on sessions will be taught by experience world-renowned experts in the field. The low faculty to participant ratio will ensure a one-of-a kind immersive workshop.
COURSE DESCRIPTION

Immersive dedicated hands-on workshop in third space endoscopy
Course designed with separate agendas tailored for beginners (November 17th-18th, 2024) and experienced endoscopists (November 17th-19th, 2024) in third space endoscopy
Intensive hands-on experience in ex-vivo and animate models with low faculty to attendee ratio
Live endoscopy and video case-based discussions with world-renown faculty
Short didactics

TARGET AUDIENCE

Endoscopists of any experience level interested in third space endoscopy techniques
Gastroenterologists, surgeons and others in the GI field who are interested in learning the most current and advanced techniques in third space endoscopy.

Course Description
The program’s goal is to improve team competence and practice performance by providing cutting edge information on endoscopy, gastroenterology and liver diseases through state-of-the-art lectures and hands-on endoscopy sessions taught by an international faculty of experts in the field.The morning educational session presentations will educate participants on common and controversial topics in endoscopy, gastrointestinal, and liver diseases in preparation for afternoon hands-on sessions.
Morning sessions will include interactive audience polling and Q&A sessions where participants can receive expert feedback.The hands-on session in the afternoon is by far the most-needed educational session based on performance gap analysis. This popular session included demonstration of the following techniques, with opportunities for participants to practice techniques learned: clipping, cauterization, argon gas, EMR, ESD, ablation, snare techniques, injection needles, use of HD endoscopes, etc.
Target Audience
This is a conference targeted toward clinical gastroenterologists, endoscopists, hepatologists, advanced practice providers, nurses, and other healthcare professionals.
Accreditation
In support of improving patient care, University of Kansas Medical Center is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME),the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
