It gives me immense pleasure to introduce 2017 to you with an immense academic material. 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 outside 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. Hence we have evolved with a ALL NEW FORMAT for laparoscopic training , especially giving more HANDS ON EXPERIENCE so that one could get back with more confidence. All kinds of courses starting from basic laparoscopy to more specialised courses have been designed by the respective departments at GEM. Unlike conferences and training programs of the past, here the operating room will be where most of your training is bound to happen. No matter whether you are a General Surgeon or a Specialist Surgical Gastroenterologist or a Surgical Oncologist, laparoscopy is today an integral part of General & GI Surgery. Go ahead !

2. COURSE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
It gives me immense pleasure to introduce 2017 to you with an
immense academic material. 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 outside 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.
Hence we have evolved with a ALL NEW FORMAT for laparoscopic
training , especially giving more HANDS ON EXPERIENCE so that one
could get back with more confidence. All kinds of courses
starting from basic laparoscopy to more specialised courses have been
designed by the respective departments at GEM. Unlike conferences
and training programs of the past, here the operating room will be
where most of your training is bound to happen.
No matter whether you are a General Surgeon or a Specialist Surgical
Gastroenterologist or a Surgical Oncologist, laparoscopy is today an
integral part of General & GI Surgery. Go ahead !
