Course overview

​

Before you cut, biopsy, refer to surgery, or call a lesion “normal,” you need to know exactly what you’re looking at. The Queen’s Optical Diagnosis Course is an immersive, two-day program focused on the fundamentals and clinical application of optical diagnosis across the GI tract, from the hypopharynx to the colon.

​

Designed for all endoscopists, this course is relevant whether you practice advanced third-space endoscopy, community endoscopy, surgery, or general gastroenterology. Regardless of setting or experience level, accurate real-time optical diagnosis underpins every endoscopic decision.

​

Participants will receive hands-on exposure to magnifying endoscopes and advanced imaging technologies, alongside structured teaching from expert faculty. The course emphasizes practical pattern recognition, decision-making, and integration of optical diagnosis into everyday clinical practice, supported by leading endoscopy vendors in Canada.

​

Optical diagnosis is not a niche skill—it is a core competency. Join us in Kingston, Ontario, Canada for a focused, high-yield educational experience that will change how you see, interpret, and act during endoscopy.
