"An intensive one-day course combining focused expert-led lectures, video-based education, and extensive hands-on capsule endoscopy reading and interpretation using dedicated software and real anonymized cases."
The program will provide a structured approach to patient selection, systematic capsule review, lesion recognition and characterization, standardized reporting, and clinical decision-making, covering inflammatory, vascular, and neoplastic pathology as well as common interpretive pitfalls and emerging applications, including colon capsule endoscopy.
Participants will have the option to attend with a nurse from their endoscopy unit, supporting team-based training and implementation in clinical practice.
Participants completing the course will also be eligible to apply for an optional remote capsule endoscopy proctorship, providing supervised interpretation of anonymized studies and individualized feedback from expert faculty.
This initiative reflects SGA's continued commitment to advancing high-quality, practice-oriented endoscopy education and supporting excellence in capsule endoscopy practice across the region.
