This is a two-day, intensive, simulation-based hands-on course, focused on Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) and advanced defect closure techniques. The program combines expert-led didactic lectures, high-fidelity porcine model training, and case-based video discussions. Participants will have the opportunity to learn ESD directly from internationally recognized experts, with more than 70% of the course dedicated to hands-on training under close faculty supervision. Training will include advanced defect closure techniques, such as OverStitch and X-Tack.

This course is designed for practicing endoscopists and GI trainees from across Canada, whether you are starting ESD or already performing ESD and looking to further advance your skills. The capacity of this program is limited to 12 participants to ensure a small-group learning environment, and registration will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
