Background/Aims: The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted the training of medical traineesinternationally. The aim of this study was to assess the global impact of COVID-19 on endoscopy training from the perspective ofendoscopy trainers and to identify strategies implemented to mitigate the impact on trainee education. Methods: Teaching faculty of gastroenterology (GI) training programs globally were invited to complete a 36-question web-basedsurvey to report the characteristics of their training programs and the impact of COVID-19 on various aspects of endoscopytraining, including what factors decisions were based on. Results: The survey response rate was 52.6% (305 out of 580 individuals); 92.8% reported a negative impact on endoscopy training,with suspension of elective procedures (77.1%) being the most detrimental factor. Geographic variations were noted, with Europeanprograms reporting the lowest percentage of trainee participation in procedures. A higher proportion of trainees in the Americaswere allowed to continue performing procedures, and trainers from the Americas reported receiving the greatest support forendoscopy teaching. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant negative impact on GI endoscopytraining internationally, as reported by endoscopy trainers. Focus-optimizing endoscopy training and assessment of competenciesare necessary to ensure adequate endoscopy training.
