The program combines:
- Theoretical lectures introducing endoscopic anatomy, indications, and safety principles.
- Video presentations and expert-led case discussions illustrating real clinical cases.
- Hands-on sessions on prelevated organs, allowing participants to practice all interventional techniques under direct supervision.

By the end of the workshop, participants will:
- Gain confidence in performing essential interventional endoscopic procedures.
- Strengthen both theoretical understanding and manual skills in hemostasis, polypectomy, PEG placement, perforation closure, and dilation techniques.
- Be prepared to apply these techniques safely and effectively in clinical practice, including sedation management and complication handling.
