The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) offers three categories of grants to fully trained endoscopists wishing to undertake further training in highly specialised endoscopic techniques at one of the officially recognised ESGE training centres. Application is available to ESGE Individual Members (please see PDF file below for further information on ESGE membership).

Module I: Basic Training with Experts

The grantee receives training on basic steps and specific techniques. A maximum of four weeks training is foreseen, depending on the techniques studied. Module I grants do not contain hands-on training.

Module II: Advanced Training with Experts

Grantees may apply for Module II after successfully completing a Module I grant. Module II grants last from three to six months depending on the number of procedures involved and on the field of expertise of the host training centre. Grantees may expect hands-on training on specific techniques during this period.

Module III: Endoscopy Director Unit Module

This grant caters to heads of endoscopic units wishing to visit leading units in order to observe organizational models. Module III grants, which are a maximum of one week, aim at facilitating non-formal institutional contacts and potentially improving formal multicenter cooperation.
