Abstract:
As the average life expectancy in Korea continues to rise, the number of elderly patients with pancreatobiliary disease is also expected to increase. Thus, it has been important to perform safe and quality-controlled endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in nowadays. However, there has been no standard educational programs of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and quality control system, so Korean Pancreatobiliary Association has a plan to make credentialing organizations especially for pancreatobiliary certification. In this article, we would like to discuss the suitable framework and practical problems about the process and renewal of pancreatobiliary certification system.
