New to endoscopy? Start with our 3-day GI endoscopy fellowship, or read which doctors can do ERCP.
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.
Fellows will gain structured exposure to a wide spectrum of procedures in a real-world OT setting.

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:Â The most common complication, occurring in 3-5% of cases, which can range from mild to severe, life-threatening necrotizing pancreatitis.
Bleeding:Â Especially after a sphincterotomy (cutting the muscle to open the duct).
Perforation:Â Tearing the lining of the intestine or the bile/pancreatic duct.
Infection (Cholangitis):Â If the ducts are not adequately drained.
Without proper training, the rate and severity of these complications increase dramatically.
14 days, on campus in Gurugram. Batches run from the 1st to 14th and from the 16th to 28th of every month.
The programme is designed for gastroenterologists and endoscopists who want advanced skills in therapeutic endoscopy.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) combines endoscopy and X-ray imaging to diagnose and treat problems of the bile ducts and pancreatic duct, such as stones and strictures.
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) uses an ultrasound probe on the tip of an endoscope to image the digestive wall and nearby organs, and to guide procedures such as fine-needle sampling.
Yes. It is a hands-on programme with one-on-one mentorship from faculty.
Participants receive a fellowship certificate in ERCP & EUS from The Medicity.
