Canadian Credentialing Guidelines for Colonoscopy

Abstract

A series of credentialing guidelines for gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures performed in the management of adult patients has been developed by the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology (CAG) Endoscopy Committee, approved by the Clinical Affairs Committee, and reviewed and endorsed by the Executive Board. In the present article, the CAG suggests specific guidelines for credentialing colonoscopy. It is intended to be read in conjunction with the introductory article that outlines the principles of credentialing (1).
