In the endoscopic examination support apparatus, the image acquisition means acquires an endoscopic video captured by an endoscope. The lesion detection means detects a lesion candidate from the endoscopic video. The heat map generation means generates a heat map indicating a possibility of lesion of the lesion candidate in the endoscopic video by a color. The display control means displays a position of a lesion on a frame of the endoscopic video based on the lesion candidate and the heat map.
