title: Present Standard in Pediatric Gastroenterology Fellowship Training in the Interpretation of Capsule Endoscopy.
abstract: Consensuses on fellowship training in wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) interpretation have been published for adult gastroenterology (GI) but not in pediatric GI training. A questionnaire has been sent to 64 pediatric and 45 adult GI fellowship programs to compare their present training approach. Adult GI programs reported having a formal GI capsule endoscopy module in 38% and required to attend hands-on course in 27% as compared with 4% and 8% in pediatric programs, respectively. A more formalized approach to WCE training may be required for credentialing pediatric trainees to be aligned with expectations in adult GI programs.
