“…Although it is clear that HRM together with CC v3.0 is the gold standard for the diagnosis of EMDs, it cannot be applied to patients widely or globally in general clinical practice, as HRM systems are costly to install and maintain. 3 , 4 Thus, certain diagnostic tools for screening EMDs are required. It was reported that the conventionally-performed barium esophagography is useful for detecting EMDs by evaluating the extent of esophageal obstruction in relation to fluids.…”

During the last decades, gastroenterology (GI) has seen some of the greatest evolutions as a specialty with rapid development in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. In this fast-moving field, it remains a key challenge to provide a high-quality training program in order to enable GI trainees to acquire the knowledge base, procedural skills, clinical experience and become competent in all aspects of GI and hepatology by the completion of their fellowship. 1,2 Besides, the quality and safety of care delivered to patients with GI and liver disorders are directly linked to the quality of training provided to medical professionals. 3 In Greece, the GI training program includes 2 years of internal medicine and 4 years of fulltime GI and hepatology training. In 2019, the Greek Ministry of Health developed a new national competencybased curriculum structured in concordance with the European recommendations released by the European Section and Board of Gastroenterology and Hepatology (ESBGH). 4,5 Thus, the national curriculum reports that during their training program, GI trainees are expected to develop competence in ward and outpatient clinical activities, providing clinical care in patients with gastrointestinal pathologies including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and hepatobiliary disorders, performing diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures, advanced endoscopy, and being able to tackle advanced hepatology, digestive oncology, nutrition, and GI motility disorders. Additionally, GI trainees should attend structured teaching sessions and conferences and develop research skills, as it is invaluable to achieve a balance between clinical activities and scientific productivity and realize the value of continuing education.
