Endoscopy School Hands-on Workshop Center

Endoscopy School Hands-on Workshop Center Directors: Christine Y. Hachem, MD, FACG, and Ronald K. Hsu, MD, FACG

The always-popular FREE Endoscopy School Hands-on Workshop Center sessions will again be offered in the Exhibit Hall, Sunday – Tuesday. Learn from the expert faculty who will demonstrate techniques using a wide variety of equipment and products. Attendees will then have an opportunity to practice using the equipment. Pre-registration is required for all sessions. Special trainee-only and resident-only sessions will be offered. Registration for all hands-on endoscopy sessions, including the GI Fellows Only and Residents Only sessions, will be done solely online.

Also, don't miss the EndoTitans Hands-on Challenge taking place Sunday, October 27th from 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm in the Endoscopy School Hands-on Workshop Center. The EndoTitans Challenge is an opportunity for fellows to demonstrate both their knowledge and technical abilities in endoscopy. The challenge begins over the summer with a preliminary knowledge round open to all second- and third-year fellows. The top scoring fellows from each year are then invited to participate in a skills challenge. Winners will take home both bragging rights and a travel grant for ACG 2025. Join us in the Endoscopy School Hands-on Workshop Center in the Exhibit Hall to cheer on the competitors.

This is a preliminary list of topics that will be provided at ACG 2024. Please check back over the summer for a final list of topics, dates, and times.
