Course Director’s Message

Greetings from Coimbatore, the Mecca for Laparoscopy

GEM has always been the forerunner in laparoscopic training and we are privileged to have trained who are now some of the best, not just in India but in other countries too. 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.

Our completely new format which includes HANDS ON EXPERIENCE in the operating room a first of its kind has been well appreciated. Unlike conferences and prior training programs, here the operating room will be where most of your training is bound to happen with regards to, Bariatric Surgery its not just the Surgeon who’s important, but the entire team. Hence the need for the comprehensive training program. We have seen this concept of team training has helped surgeons for a better pre-operative evaluation & post operative follow-up, which is utmost important for a successful Bariatric program

We have carefully drafted the program with right mix of live surgeries, videos and lectures. This focused one to one interaction program will be a stepping stone for all surgeons aspiring their career in Bariatric and Metabollic Surgery. Go ahead !
