The Training Center in Bangkok, Thailand, was opened on March 20, 2006. The center is based in Siriraj Hospital, one of the largest facilities in the region with 2,500 beds and a medical school.
Due to the fact that all trainees should have hands-on practice during their training period, several training sites within the Bangkok Metropolitan Area have been included so that an appropriate number of patients and endoscopic events can be accommodated.
The major training site is in Siriraj Hospital (3rd floor of the 84th Siriraj Anniversary Building).
Satellite training sites are located in Chulalongkorn Hospital, Ramathibodi Hospital, King Mongkut Hospital, Rajavithi Hospital, Police Hospital, and King Bhumiphol Hospital, where endoscopic equipment and well trained endoscopy staff are available.
In addition, further satellite training sites are available in the north of the country at Songkla Hospital, Khon Kaen Hospital, and Chiengmai Hospital.
