NYSGE Masters Course

The NYSGE Masters Course is an advanced, hands-on program designed for high-volume gastroenterologists and therapeutic endoscopists seeking to refine and expand their skills. This unique course connects nationally recognized experts in therapeutic endoscopy with motivated physicians eager to deepen their expertise through immersive, practical training.

Participants will gain exposure to cutting-edge devices, advanced techniques, and real-world problem-solving strategies. The program emphasizes skill development through small-group interaction, case-based discussion, and live, interactive training with animal models.

The course is organized into three focused learning pathways:

1. Third Space Endoscopy - Complex resection, per-oral endoscopic myotomy and endoscopic suturing
2. Therapeutic EUS - Master EUS drainage, EUS Rendezvous techniques, and direct biliary and pancreatic drainage
3. Endobariatrics - Primary obesity (gastric balloon/endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty/gastric remodeling), revision of prior gastric surgery, post-surgical complication management.

Learners select one pathway and engage in an intensive six-hour session featuring personalized, one-on-one instruction from a master in the field. This pathway-based design allows participants to:

• Take a deep dive into a specific subspecialty area of therapeutic endoscopy
• Accelerate their technical learning curve
• Acquire practical skills and strategies that can be seamlessly integrated into their clinical practice

The NYSGE Masters Course is an unparalleled opportunity to learn directly from leaders in the field, enhance procedural confidence, and bring new expertise back to patient care.
