title: Gastroenterology in Europe 1983.
abstract: Although gastroenterology is an international discipline, few of us are familiar with the details of how training for the specialty is carried on outside the United States and Canada or the numbers of gastroenterologists relative to the population or physicians. The International Liaison Committee of the American Gastroenterological Association asked Dr. Sverre Emas of the Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden, a member of the committee, to survey training in gastroenterology and the numbers of gastroenterologists in Europe in 1983. His report follows. We believe this should be of interest to gastroenterologists in North America.
