Dear Fellows, 

We are excited to offer a hands-on First-Year Fellow’s Training Session with our Olympus partners to help you gain practical experience with the equipment and techniques you’ll be using throughout your fellowship. Below are the details:  

Training Topics Include:  

• Olympus Endoscopy & EndoTherapy overview tailored to our available technologies  

• Proper care and handling procedures for endoscopy equipment  

• Hands-on practice using the Thompson Box for polypectomies, scope retroflexion, torque, tip deflection, and navigation

This session will be a great opportunity to develop key skills in a supportive, interactive setting. Please plan to attend and come prepared for hands-on practice.
