Overview:
This course in theoretical and practical endoscopy is designed for clinicians with no or basic skills in rigid and flexible endoscopy. We cover instrument handling from how to set up the endoscope to maintenance and cleaning. Many tricks are discussed and shown since all course masters have been involved in endoscopic teaching for many years. Morning classroom teaching on basically all aspects of endoscopic utilisation in small and exotic animals is followed daily by a practical wet lab on live animals, cadavers and models. Small groups with several instructors will enhance the learning effect.
