Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Widespread adoption of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in the United States has been challenging, partly because of the limited availability of training opportunities.1 Recently, a junior faculty member based in the United States completed a novel 1-year ESD training program within a traditional American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy fourth-year advanced endoscopy fellowship.2 During the course of the training program, the trainee had assisted with or observed 19 cases, partially performed 18 cases, and fully or mainly performed 26 cases, in which the mean lesion diameter was 44.5 mm and in which 79.2% of lesions were colorectal.
