Gastrointestinal (GI) motility and functional disorders comprise over two-third of referrals to GI specialists yet training programs are disproportionately focused on endoscopy, inflammatory bowel disease and liver disease. Trainees at many centres receive minimal or no formal training in motility disorders and have little or no exposure to motility testing. Our purpose was to develop an educational intervention to address this learning need.
