Foreword
This second edition of the book, Successful Training in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy is an entirely new and refreshing approach to what should be taught to those learning to perform endoscopy but also delves into the cognitive aspects of how to address and solve problems as they are encountered. The second edition has updated each and every chapter to include the latest training guidelines and resources for both trainees and teachers and a full web version accompanies this book. New chapters have been added, such as training the teachers of endoscopy, GI motility, anorectal procedures, and international opportunities for additional training and there are several detailed online resources for both trainees and teachers.
Dr. Jonathan Cohen is a dedicated teacher of endoscopy and has an active practice of endoscopy in New York City where he is responsible for training new endoscopists but also is active in the development of teachers of endoscopy. His expertise in every aspect of endoscopy training has been recognized by the World Endoscopy Organization who appointed him as co‐chair of the “Program for Endoscopy Teachers,” known throughout the world as “PET,” with training sessions that he has developed and organized in dozens of countries across the world.
