We're excited to announce that IDEN 2025 will be held together in Seoul, Korea, making it a global congress beyond Asia. In collaboration with the Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (KSGE), we invite young endoscopists worldwide to apply for the International Young Endoscopist 2025 Program from June 2 to June 10, 2025.
The IYEA program is intended to promote technical advancement and collaboration among young endoscopists. This program has been held annually since 2014, with 306 young international endoscopists from 32 countries having participated so far. The program enables them to acquire and develop new advanced knowledge and technical skills in GI endoscopy by clinical training at Korean high-volume centers, which in turn improve patient care in the applicant’s home.
Please be advised that the application deadline for IYEA 2025 is set for April 5, 2025.
