GESA Train The Colonoscopist Trainer Workshops

To enhance the quality and safety of colonoscopy and coordinate colonoscopy training in Australia, The Gastroenterological Society of Australia (GESA) and the Australian Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Association (AGEA) established the National Endoscopy Training Initiative (NETI).

 

Achieving World's Best Practice in Colonoscopy Training 

NETI has established a comprehensive series of national, formalised and standardised colonoscopy workshops conducted by experienced and higly-qualified supervisors. Exacting standards have been set for individual endoscopists and for the conduct of quality training in endoscopy.
