Abstract
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures are complex and potentially hazardous. It is essential for clinical and technical aspects to be taught effectively, and for the outcomes to be assessed objectively. Whilst apprenticeship training remains dominant, there is room for more structured training, and for using more simulation methods. The level of acceptable competence is controversial, and patients need data with which to make meaningful decisions.
