Formal endoscopy training for senior and junior house staff.

The upper endoscopic experience of junior and senior surgical residents was analyzed before (period 1) and after (period 2) creating a 2-month rotation with a dedicated surgical endoscopist. Three hundred sixty-two endoscopies were performed during the study period, with 295 (81%) being performed after formalizing training. A chi-square analysis was performed and found to be statistically significant for each group when compared to a control experience with colonoscopy. We conclude that a dedicated block of time and a committed surgical attending physician will have a significantly positive impact on resident caseload. Furthermore, the added benefits of being more closely involved with the patient rather than relying on another discipline will add to the resident's educational experience.
