Fundamentals of Endoscopic Surgery

The SAGES Fundamentals of Endoscopic Surgery (FES) Program was designed to teach and assess the physiology, anatomy and fundamental knowledge and technical skills required to practice flexible endoscopic surgery of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The FES Program is comprised of an interactive web-based multimedia-enhanced didactic curriculum component and a two-part validated assessment made up of:

• A web-based multiple choice exam for evaluating cognitive knowledge
• A virtual reality platform to evaluate fundamental technical and psychomotor skills

For more information about the FES program go to www.sages.org.

You must register for the FES Exam through SAGES FES Program.

The Simulation Core administers the FES exam to both BCM clinicians and those from other institutions.
