ERCP Training Overview

Program Structure & Pathways

Our fellowship offers a structured, two-week pathway designed to provide a comprehensive and safe surgical training experience. The program follows a progressive learning model:

  • Observation & Simulation

    • Begin by observing live procedures to understand the workflow and techniques.

    • Engage in intensive simulation training to build foundational skills in a risk-free environment.

  • Assisted Practice & Supervised Hands-On Surgery

    • Progress to assisting senior surgeons in the operating room.

    • Perform procedures on animal models to refine techniques under guidance.

    • Upon successful completion of the above stages, you will advance to performing supervised hands-on surgery with real patients.

The standard fellowship duration is two weeks, with the option to extend for further specialized training based on your individual progress and goals.

Why Any Doctor Needs Specialized Training for ERCP

ERCP is not a standard procedure; it is one of the most complex and high-risk procedures in gastroenterology. A doctor cannot perform ERCP after standard medical school or general gastroenterology fellowship alone. Here’s why specialized, advanced training is an absolute necessity

ERCP is an invasive procedure that involves manipulating the delicate bile and pancreatic ducts. The risk of serious complications is significantly higher than for a standard gastroscopy or colonoscopy.

  • Pancreatitis: The most common complication, occurring in 3-5% of cases, which can range from mild to severe, life-threatening necrotizing pancreatitis.

  • Bleeding: Especially after a sphincterotomy (cutting the muscle to open the duct).

  • Perforation: Tearing the lining of the intestine or the bile/pancreatic duct.

  • Infection (Cholangitis): If the ducts are not adequately drained.

Without proper training, the rate and severity of these complications increase dramatically.
