Source and Scope

This Position Statement is an official statement of the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE). ESGE has a vision to create a thriving community of endoscopy services and endoscopists in Europe, to provide a high quality of endoscopy care. This position statement provides a methodological framework for the development of easy-to-measure competence standards that are focused on clinical consequences of optical diagnosis. The methodological framework presented has been established by a task force of experts in optical diagnosis who were involved in the ESGE Curricula Working Group for optical diagnosis training.
