THE RISE OF OBESITY HAS PLACED THE HEALTH OF AN ENTIRE GENERATION AT RISK.
GEM hospital has been the forerunner for the growth and development of many advanced laparoscopic techniques and also in training and research. This includes laparoscopic techniques for the treatment of GI cancers like laparoscopic whipples procedure, thoracolaparoscopic oesophagectomy, bariatric surgery etc. The training comprises of in-depth “Hands On” training of the basic procedures in Minimal Access Surgery. Diploma Certificate in Minimal Access Surgery will be issued after successful completion of this course. The content of core modules has been revised to provide a comprehensive foundation including training modules, hands on training and virtual education. The sequence of delivery of modules will be logical and lead to the successful assimilation of enough theoretical and practical knowledge to allow the assigned project to be developed. The course is ideally suited for surgeons and gynaecologists interested in acquiring the knowledge and skills for establishing a career in laparoscopy. With many similar courses, where a degree is offered without much hands on training, this is one of its kind where a surgeon will actually be able to start laparoscopic practice at the completion of the course. The spectrum of clinical observation is NOT restricted to the observation/training of surgical procedures, but includesout-patient and ward based activities, to facilitate understanding of presentation, diagnosis, selection, consent and outcome related to safe minimal access surgery. Candidates will be exposed to advanced laparoscopic procedures also and will be able too assist in the actual operations. This includes procedures like laparoscopic gastrectomy, hippies, colorectal surgeries, bariatric surgery and robotic surgeries.
Candidates will be encouraged to participate in academic meetings and also to partner in research projects of the Institute based on the department they work in. The subject for review shall be relevant to minimal access surgery. Guidance will be given to those who are uncertainas to their choice. A preliminary literature search will form part of the research methodology module. A dedicated Institutional review board(IRB) will guide in the project work. The candidates shall also participate in the weekly academic meetings of the institute like clinical presentations , journal club , mortality meetings etc

GEM hospital has been the forerunner for the growth and development of many advanced laparoscopic techniques and also in training and research. This includes laparoscopic techniques for the treatment of GI cancers like laparoscopic whipples procedure, thoracolaparoscopic oesophagectomy, bariatric surgery etc. Laparoscopy is now more standardised and accepted, but at the same time is becoming more challenging too. The days are gone where surgeons used to experiment and learn themselves. Hence we have evolved with a ALL NEW FORMAT for laparoscopic training, especially giving more HANDS ON EXPERIENCE so that one could get back with more confidence. All kinds of courses starting from basic laparoscopy to more specialised courses have been designed by the respective departments at GEM. Unlike conferences and training programs of the past, here the operating room will be where most of your training is bound to happen.
Gem is also the only Institute speciality based training courses including basic laparoscopy,Endo hernia,bariatric surgery , upper GI surgery and so on
