Bedside EGD

Do intensivists ever get certified to perform their own emergent bedside EGDs on GI bleeders?

The ASGE publishes specifications for non-GI endoscopists here:

I know some people go for GI/CCM fellowships, but wouldn't it be nice to be able to scope all those bleeders without having to be a GI? Specially in the middle of the night.
