 The traditional apprentice model of teaching therapeutic endoscopic skills is inadequate due to unpredictable frequency and high stakes for patient outcome. Simulation had gained widespread acceptance for training modules. But all the procedures cannot be trained on simulator. We designed a novel human cadaver hands-on training module for practicing percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG), endoscopic variceal band ligation (EVL), endoscopic injection (EI), snare polypectomy (SP), thermal cautery (TC), and endoscopic clip (EC) placement.  Methods A single preserved pre-coronavirus disease 2019 human cadaver was used as a training model. Twelve trainees (6 teams) used the module to acquire and practice new skills of PEG, EVL, EI, SP, and EC using standard endoscope and regular endoscopic accessories. All the trainees completed the course evaluation using a 5-point Likert scale (5= strongly agree).  Results The training resulted in a self-reported increase in equipment familiarity and all the trainees felt uniformly that they are better prepared for performing the procedures on real patients. They strongly agreed that this exhaustive hands-on exercise has more educational value than attending lectures.  Conclusion Human cadaver can be used for trainees to hone therapeutic endoscopic skills by teaching modules with predefined learning objectives.
