Who are we?

ASEP is a not-for-profit organization, whose goal is to provide education, resources and collaboration for endoscopists and their teams primarily through Endoscopy Skills Days for Practicing Endoscopists and their teams.

Conference Objective

This course aims to advance the cognitive and technical skills of physicians and nurses who routinely participate in endoscopy procedures. Faculty (gastroenterologists, general surgeons, family physicians and nurses) will use both lectures and small group sessions to facilitate interactive discussions
on topics relevant to gastrointestinal medicine and endoscopy.
