Representatives from three WGO
Training Centers (Bangkok, Nairobi
and Porto) participated in a Train the
ERCP Trainers workshop in London,
England held in July 2019 in collaboration
with the British Society of
Gastroenterology (BSG). The BSG
has developed world-leading methods
of colonoscopy training, and the
ERCP TTT Workshop applied these
insights and methods to ERCP.
Attendees practiced didactic, simulator,
and clinical ERCP instruction
of trainees under the guidance of
BSG staff. The course also provided a
comprehensive approach to best practices
in providing trainee feedback
and structuring an ERCP training
program. Delegates gave the course
high ratings, with one writing “Do
more courses like this!”
