Can U.S. GI fellowship programs meet American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy recommendations for training in EUS? A survey of U.S. GI fellowship program directors.
American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) EUS training and credentialing guidelines exist, but the capability of U.S. GI fellowships to meet these guidelines has not been assessed. ⋯ The majority of U.S. GI fellowship programs have established the EUS volume to train at least 1 EUS fellow, per ASGE guidelines; however, most 3-year and many advanced fellows are currently receiving insufficient EUS training.
