Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In the absence of quality assessment of GI training, patient safety and evidence-based medical care cannot be guaranteed. According to major societies of GI endoscopy, the credentialing decisions for GI endoscopy should be based on the evaluation of physicians' qualifications and procedural skills, as assessed by experienced doctors with whom they have trained, not solely on a simple counting of procedures performed (9). Therefore, there is a need for a WEO training guideline that defines training duration, procedural skills and competency that should be acquired by young GI endoscopists during their endoscopy training.
It is particularly important for WEO to standardize the fundamentals of GI endoscopy training globally by developing recommendations on endoscopic education and training to help medical institutions ensure the technical and cognitive competence of individuals requesting endoscopic privileges.
Objective:
To assess the current global state of GI endoscopy training programs and to identify the unmet needs and how to improve it through a web based questionnaire.
Methods:
Endoscopists from all over the world will be invited to answer in the questionnaire through e-mail invitations. Results will be analyzed to assess the current global status of GI endoscopy training in their countries, the unmet needs and to how improve it.
