About

This ESD workshop is designed to address the need for exposure to the techniques and advantages of ESD through lecture, live cases, and interaction with internationally renowned faculty.

The University of Florida has organized a four day VIRTUAL Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) training workshop that is designed to facilitate the introduction and expansion of ESD in the US. The goal is for the attendees to benefit from the pioneering Japanese expertise with Dr. Takuji Gotoda, along with incorporating the Western experience (there will be 1 European and 5 US faculty).

This workshop will be heavily focused on live case education and has some unique features which we believe will make it a great opportunity to acquire or expand ESD skills.
