73 A PROSPECTIVE MULTICENTER STUDY EVALUATING EUS AND ERCP COMPETENCE DURING ADVANCED ENDOSCOPY TRAINING AND SUBSEQUENT INDEPENDENT PRACTICE: THE RAPID ASSESSMENT OF TRAINEE ENDOSCOPY SKILLS (RATES2) STUDY

We have shown that AETs achieve EUS and ERCP competence at varying rates, validating the shift from defining competence based on an absolute number of procedures to well-defined metrics. However, there are no data to confirm that advanced endoscopy trainees (AETs) who achieve competence during training subsequently perform high quality EUS and ERCP in their 1st year of independent practice.
