- Scope sterilisation protocols: HLD, ETO, and automated reprocessors
- Scope storage, maintenance, and transport best practices
- Upper GI endoscopy fundamentals — anatomy, landmarks, documentation
- GI emergencies overview: upper GI bleed, perforation, foreign body, acute obstruction
Day 2
Live OT Exposure & Applied Hands-On Training
🏥 Morning Session — Live OT Observation
- In-theatre exposure to real-time endoscopic procedures
- OT scrub protocols, infection control, and patient positioning
- Patient handling: consent, pre-medication, monitoring during endoscopy
- Observation of diagnostic and therapeutic case flow in live OT

Live OT Exposure
OT Exposure
Participants gain direct in-theatre exposure across two days. Under faculty supervision, they observe live patient procedures, learn OT protocols, and — where permitted — scrub in for hands-on assistance during endoscopic cases.
- Diagnostic upper GI endoscopy (OGD)
- Therapeutic endoscopy — variceal band ligation
- Haemostatic injection sclerotherapy
- Foreign body retrieval procedures
- Polypectomy using cold & hot snare
- Targeted and systematic biopsy procedures
- Argon plasma coagulation (APC)
- PEG tube insertion (observation)
- ERCP — diagnostic and therapeutic (observation)
- Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) overview
- Haemostatic clip application
- Capsule endoscopy review and reporting
Note: OT exposure depends on the institutional case load on the days of the program.
Hands-on scrubbing in advanced procedures is at faculty discretion and subject to patient consent.
Wet Lab Training — Day 3
The Day 3 wet lab uses a validated pig model to simulate real GI tissue texture, resistance, and mucosal anatomy. Each participant performs a full sequence of endoscopic manoeuvres with direct faculty observation and real-time correction.
