Pilot prospective study on formal training in per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) during advanced endoscopy fellowship.

ABSTRACT: Background and study aims  Gastroenterology societies have recently proposed core curricula for training in per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) based on expert opinion with limited data on its applicability for advanced endoscopy fellowship (AEF) trainees. We prospectively evaluated the feasibility of a structured POEM training curriculum during a dedicated AEF and the trainee's performance during independent practice.
