Abstract
Education in endoscopy encompasses a wide breadth of topics and skills. Despite a shared interest in improving training in endoscopy, there is wide variation among programs, largely because of broad requirements put forth by the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education. Historically, efforts to improve education in endoscopy were focused on numerics as a surrogate for competence. However, there is a role for "milestone" development goals to ensure trainees are on the right track to developing procedural competence. These milestones should encompass aspects of preprocedural assessment, intraprocedural technique, and postprocedural management and interpretation. Two important aspects of intraprocedural technique that are not universally emphasized among training programs but would be immensely beneficial to fellow education are (i) mucosal examination and (ii) device education. In this article, we will discuss the importance of developing the aforementioned skills and how we can approach a competency-based assessment of endoscopic skills during fellowship.
