ISP was founded in 2002 by Dr Binmoeller to provide overseas physicians specialized in the field of gastroenterology an opportunity to obtain postgraduate training in advanced therapeutic endoscopy.  Procedures are performed at California Pacific Medical Center.    After completion of the 1-year training program, the scholar returns to his/her home country to train other physicians and to disseminate expertise acquired in interventional endoscopy.

1. Coverage of licensing fees and medical malpractice  

2. Health insurance coverage 

3. Housing supplement (up to $10,000 per scholar)

4. Presenter's travel and meeting expense supplement
