Forward Academy™ ESD Training

Inspired by the ESGE curriculum* for endoscopic submucosal dissection training, we created a com­prehensive six-month training programme. Here, experts in ESD act as mentors, guiding participants and comprehensively teaching the necessary skills.

Our Forward Academy ESD aims to target high-potential, skilled physicians who would like to be the future experts in performing ESD. It entails several steps to guarantee the development of the trainee’s skills, including ex-vivo and in-vivo hands-on training as well as case observation. 

Training steps 20.-21.06.2024: ESD basics lectures and ex-vivo hands-on 13.-14.09.2024: ESD advanced lectures and in-vivo cases Virtual and personal mentoring via Proximie (digital learning platform) and on site at mentors’ hospitals
