Certificate Course in Diagnostic and Therapeutic ERCP
Date: 30th June 2026 (Tue) – 30th June 2026 (Tue)
Curriculum & Structure
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is among the most technically demanding procedures in gastrointestinal endoscopy. Successful cannulation, therapeutic intervention, and complication management require not only anatomical understanding, but also refined hand-eye coordination, fluoroscopic interpretation, and procedural judgment. Yet, many clinicians gradually gain ERCP exposure through observation, selective assistance, and limited supervised procedures — without structured simulator-based practice in therapeutic techniques. IMMAST’s Certificate Course in Diagnostic and Therapeutic ERCP is designed to bridge this gap. This is not a passive observational workshop. It is a focused, simulation-driven training program with guided hands-on practice designed to build technical precision, procedural confidence, and safe therapeutic decision-making in ERCP. What truly distinguishes this program is the opportunity for repeated hands-on practice on advanced mechanical/ VR simulators and the unique ‘First and Only of its Kind’ BioSIM model developed by IMMAST for practicing ERCP techniques, using animal tissue.
