Training in Endoscopy: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Clin Endosc. 2017 Jul;50(4):318-321 Authors: Kim JS, Kim BW Abstract Gastrointestinal endoscopy is important in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of many diseases of the digestive tract. The ability to perform esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) safely, effectively, and efficiently has become the mainstay of gastroenterology practice. In Korea, EGD education is usually imparted as a component of gastroenterology training programs during fellowship. In this review, we discuss the general principles of EGD training. Formal curriculum development with devising clear goals and effective training methods should be developed in the future. PMID: 28783922 [PubMed]
