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.

The later part shifts the focus to the realm of research, with in-depth sessions on research methodology, data analysis, and critical appraisal of scientific literature. Residents learn to become discerning consumers of medical research, developing the skills to interpret study findings and understand their practical applications. By the end of the course, the first-year residents emerge with a robust toolkit of knowledge and strategies, poised to help them grapple with challenges they are likely to face in their upcoming years in the field.

Evidence Based Gastroenterology - 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. This annual gathering not only serves as a valuable learning experience for the residents but also fosters a sense of camaraderie and professional networking, as they share insights, exchange ideas, and forge connections that will undoubtedly shape their future careers as gastroenterologists. By the end of the three-day event, the residents emerge with a renewed sense of confidence, a deeper understanding of the complexities of the field, and a heightened commitment to providing exceptional patient care – all of which will serve them well as they transition from the academic setting to the dynamic world of clinical practice.
