ABSTRACT Background In France, it is mandatory that gastroenterology fellows have mastered the basic level of endoscopy by the end of training. The aim of this study was to assess improvement in the quality of fellows’ endoscopy training in France during the last four years. Methods All fellows in France in training were eligible for participation. A 21-item questionnaire was sent out. The primary outcome was the completion by fourth year fellows of all the number of procedures recommended. Results were compared with those of a 2016 survey. Results Two-hundred-and-sixty-five fellows responded to the survey. The participation rate was 47.0%. The mean age was 27.3 ± 1.0 years and 56.4% were female. Access to theoretical courses (63.7% vs 30.6%, p Conclusion Access to theoretical courses and simulation-based training and perceived acquisition of numerous skills has gotten better. However, the quality of training in endoscopy still needs improvement.
