¶¶Òô´ó¹Ï Announces 2025 Endoscopic Training Award Recipients

The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (¶¶Òô´ó¹Ï) is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2025 ¶¶Òô´ó¹Ï Endoscopic Training Award. This prestigious program provides advanced fellows or junior faculty the opportunity to train internationally with leading endoscopists and institutions, advancing their skills in gastrointestinal endoscopy.

The award supports three recipients with a $5,000 stipend each to help underwrite “reasonable and customary travel/living expenses” during a one- to three-month training experience. One award supports training within the United States, and the remaining two support international placements. Recipients receive the stipend prior to travel.

Enrik John Torres Aguila, MD-MBA, RND
St. Luke’s Medical Center Global City, Philippines
Dr. Aguila will train at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts, under the mentorship of Tyler Berzin, MD, F¶¶Òô´ó¹Ï. His training will emphasize advanced endoscopic techniques, including cholangioscopy, complex ERCP procedures, therapeutic EUS, radiofrequency and cryotherapy for Barrett’s esophagus, endoscopic mucosal resection, and stenting. This comprehensive experience will prepare Dr. Aguila to address a full spectrum of gastrointestinal diseases.


Varun Kesar, MD
Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine, Roanoke, VA
Dr. Kesar will travel to Jichi Medical University in Tochigi, Japan, to train under Hironori Yamamoto, MD, F¶¶Òô´ó¹Ï. His training will focus on cutting-edge techniques in submucosal endoscopy and enhanced lesion detection in the colon, with a particular emphasis on optical diagnosis.


Enock Syabbalo, MD
University of Zambia School of Medicine, Lusaka, Zambia
Dr. Syabbalo will train at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, MA, under Akwi W. Asombang, MD, MPH, FACG, F¶¶Òô´ó¹Ï. His training will include observation of both general and advanced procedures, hands-on engagement with endoscopic equipment, and participation in multidisciplinary meetings. He will also gain insight into patient management across healthcare systems, following cases from admission through discharge.


The ¶¶Òô´ó¹Ï Endoscopic Training Award is underwritten by a grant from FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. – Endoscopy. ¶¶Òô´ó¹Ï extends its gratitude to FUJIFILM for their support in advancing global endoscopic education and training.

¶¶Òô´ó¹Ï congratulates these outstanding recipients and looks forward to the impact they will have on improving GI care in their respective regions and beyond.
