title: [Adaptation of graduate gastroenterology education in Switzerland].
abstract: To evaluate the quality of Swiss postgraduate gastroenterological training, a questionnaire was circulated to 100 practising gastroenterologists. The results show that knowledge of psychosomatic problems, proctology and nutrition should be improved. The majority of practising Swiss gastroenterologists favoured formal education in ultrasound techniques. Radiological and laparoscopic techniques are no longer needed. The question whether postgraduate training standards should be raised, and a board examination introduced, is discussed.
