Survey Sees Slow Going With GI Motility Training

Although most GI fellowship programs offer training in neurogastroenterology and GI motility, in many cases that appears to be little more than lip service. A new survey suggests that only about one-fourth of GI fellowship programs meet the minimum standards for training in neurogastroenterology and GI motility—creating a “large unmet gap in trainee needs” in this area, according to the researchers (Figures 1-3).
