Expert Training Centers

Within the Outreach Program, WEO supports structured hands-on training for doctors from Africa in selected high-volume Expert Training Centers in India. These placements are designed for focused, practical upskilling in endoscopy, matched to the trainee’s level and clinical goals.

Training pathways typically include:

  • Basic endoscopy training (approx. 1 month)
  • Advanced endoscopy training (3-6 months)

The full list of Expert Training Centers is available here. The WEO Outreach Program currently operates through the centers in India.

Applications are currently closed. New opportunities will be announced on the WEO website.
