Abstract

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a rigorous and technically sophisticated method for removal of lesions within the gastrointestinal tract. Despite having advantages of en-bloc resection of lesions, regardless of size, and widespread use in Japan and Asia, ESD has not become widely adopted in the USA for a variety of reasons. Based upon Japanese education and the master-apprentice model, modification to the education system and additional techniques designed to facilitate broader adoption are required for trainees in the USA. This article will review the current state of education and training for ESD in the USA.
