Gastrointestinal endoscopy is an invaluable tool for the diagnosis and treatment of upper and lower gastrointestinal diseases in children. Pediatric and adult endoscopy differ in several respects including differences in procedural indications, sedation practices, pre-procedure preparation, equipment, and the importance of routine tissue sampling and terminal ileum intubation. In the same way that performance of endoscopy in children requires pediatric-specific training, assessment of pediatric endoscopists requires an approach that is tailored to pediatric practice and the use of assessment methods and measures that have been developed and validated specifically within the pediatric context.
