Young Clinician Program (YCP)
The YCP is a 3 day event which acts as a stepping stone for young aspiring residents from across the country and introduces them to the vast and extensive field of Gastroenterology. The initial part of the program is dedicated to mastering the fundamental approach to patient care, delving into the nuances of effective history-taking, physical examination techniques, and the formulation of thoughtful differential diagnoses. Seasoned faculty members share their expertise through interactive lectures and small-group discussions, equipping the residents with the knowledge to deal with the real world patient problems.
Evidence Based Gastroenterology - (EBG)
The EBG is the brainchild of ISG which has acted as the appropriate bridge between the fresher and the final year academic programs. Each year, residents from various institutions across the country participate for a ready reckoner on topics that aim to broadly cover the vast field of Gastroenterology. These range from common clinical situations to difficult to treat diseases and provides a sound and scientific backbone to concept building necessary for the younger professionals in the field. Senior faculty, each of whom are a master in their own specific subspecialty, guide the students via the latest and cutting edge knowledge, honing them to be better in their future endeavors.
Gastroenterology Young Masters - (GYM)
In 2008, ISG had decided to launch national training programs directed specifically to trainees in Gastroenterology, to address a long-felt need to revitalize training in GE in India and to create a platform for making the standards uniform across the country. The GYM program is targeted for exam going final year DM and DNB students where they gather to showcase their knowledge and clinical acumen. Over the course of three intensive days, participants engage in a series of case discussions and interactive quizzes. These are designed to simulate the rigor and pressure of high-stakes clinical situations enabling them to collaborate with their peers to devise the most effective diagnostic and treatment strategies.
Train the Trainers - (TTT)
Encouraged by the training programs organized by WGO, the Train the Trainers (TTT) program is a recent initiative of the Indian Society of Gastroenterology that funds 25 consultants across India. TTT is a four-day specialized educational program. The program format includes basic and advanced research methodologies, concept-making lectures in basic sciences, and writing and presentation skills.
Master Class
The COVID-19 pandemic led the world to explore new innovative ways of imparting education through online seminars and courses. Since all the teaching institutions suspended their academic activities, the ISG introduced a series of web-based Master Class lectures and panel discussions on the relevant topics for GI trainees, practicing gastroenterologists, and hepatologists.
