Since 2020, we have conducted an online colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) training course, holding 9 sessions and training a total of 75 participants.

Each participant underwent a structured 70-minute training session consisting of an initial and final time trial using the Scope handling Training (ST) kit, endoscope handling practice, and hands-on ESD training with an artificial model.
