Abstract
The Assessment of Competency in Endoscopy (ACE) tools for colonoscopy and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) were both put forth by the Training Committee of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) with the intent of providing teachers and programs a means to continuously assess fellow skills in these procedures throughout their years of training. Despite the availability of the tools, there are no data that define when competency in EGD has been reached. The goal of this study is to validate the EGD ACE tool (ACE-E) and for the first time describe learning curves and competency benchmarks for esophagogastroduodenoscopy by examining a large national cohort of trainees.
