Training numbers for colonoscopy vary among specialties. Tracking colonoscopy quality indicators for program graduates may provide reliable outcome data to improve educational programs and establish training requirements. The purpose of this study was to measure specific colonoscopy quality indicators for a family medicine graduate to determine if outcome can be used to assess the quality of procedure training and contribute to more objective means of establishing training numbers.
