I joined Dr. Rathod on his weekend course of EUS-ERCP Hands-on Interface followed by one week of further hands-on sessions in EUS on a wide variety of patients in a very short span of time which I was astonished to see. One of the most important aspects of this course was the complicated and the seldom seen pancreatic diseases which I haven't personally come across. I had a great opportunity to watch Dr. Rathod treating these complicated pancreatic diseases.
