The great progress of the video endoscopic equipment has rendered teaching and training a simpler task through participation of the trainee in the procedure. A growing number of “train the trainer” courses has also been implemented worldwide, with focused programs in Australia, United Kingdom, and Canada. Computerized programs and simulators have been developed and are very useful to familiarize the trainee with the space distribution of organs and to learn to exert the right movements of the endoscope to reach the targeted organ or perform a delicate therapeutic procedure [35–38].

Also, several good “hands‐on” courses with live demonstrations and training on porcine models have been developed in Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, UK and United States. Finally, the trainee should complete their training in a reputed pediatric center, large enough to get the necessary experience and with support from an experienced pediatric gastroenterologist.
