| Popis: | Background In Japan there are limited opportunities for pediatric gastrointestinal (GI) trainees to learn GI endoscopy. This study investigated whether a short-term intensive training for three months in adult GI unit enabled pediatric GI trainees to acquire the required number of cases and the technical competence to preform pediatric GI endoscopic procedures. Methods This was a retrospective case series of pediatric GI trainees who underwent three months of intensive endoscopy training that also included direct observation and a questionnaire. The numbers of esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), ileocolonoscopy and snare polypectomies each trainee performed as well as cecal intubation rates were collected with the goal of meeting standards of overseas educational guidelines. The trainees were also asked about continuing experience with pediatric endoscopic procedures after the intensive training. Results There were 10 enrolled trainees, 9 men, average age, 34 (range, 29-41). The average number (range) of EGD and ileocolonoscopy which the 10 trainees had done before this training period was 52 (0-200) and 15 (0-20), respectively. The average number (range) of EGD, ileocolonoscopy and snare polypectomy per each trainee were 651.7 (485-814), 159.2 (130-195) and 25.8 (10-55), respectively over three months: all trainees thus fulfilled all criteria of minimal training requirements. All trainees also reached required threshold in cecal intubation rate (>90%). In addition, all trainees were able to perform pediatric endoscopic procedures alone after the intensive training period. Conclusion Short-term intensive training for three months in adult GI setting enabled pediatric GI trainees to acquire technical competence for pediatric endoscopic procedures. |
