Advancing Endoscopy. Together.
The world’s most trusted community for practicing endoscopists, founded on independence, collaboration, and a shared passion for patient care.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower the global endoscopy community with independent, practical, and collaborative knowledge, fostering clinical mastery and advancing patient care.
We believe that every practitioner, from fellow to department head, deserves access to unbiased, world-class education. We exist to break down the traditional silos of medical knowledge, creating a single, trusted space where endoscopists can learn cutting-edge techniques, discuss complex cases with peers, and access the resources they need to remove guesswork from their practice. Ultimately, we strive to help great practitioners become even better, leading to superior outcomes for patients everywhere.
Our Story: The Genesis of EndoCollab
EndoCollab was born not in a boardroom, but from a fundamental need observed in the global medical community. Our founder, world-renowned endoscopist Dr. Klaus Mönkemüller, spent decades practicing, researching, and teaching in institutions across the globe. Through his travels, he saw a recurring challenge: invaluable clinical insights and innovative techniques were often isolated within specific hospitals or countries, while much of the available education was influenced by commercial interests.
He envisioned a different future—a single, global hub where the world’s endoscopists could connect and share knowledge freely, without bias. Driven by this vision, EndoCollab was created as a passion project, a personal mission to build the community he knew the field needed. It began with a simple goal: to create a trusted space for peer-to-peer learning, grounded in scientific integrity and a collaborative spirit. Today, that vision has grown into a thriving worldwide community, but its core purpose remains unchanged: to be a platform for endoscopists, by endoscopists.
