Insights from the UEG Analysis of National Curricula and the Path to a Unified Standard Article Harmonising Gastroenterology Training: An Analysis of Gastroenterology Training Curricula of the United European Gastroenterology Member Societies DOI: https://doi.org/10.1002/ueg2.70127 **Highlights ** How different is GI training across Europe? A snapshot of 51 national curricula reveals striking variation in structure, duration, and flexibility. What skills are trainees really learning? Core clinical and endoscopy skills are common, but advanced procedures and simulation training are far from universal. Are research and non-technical skills overlooked? Research time exists in many programmes, yet leadership, mentoring, and modern competencies are rarely formalised. Do we assess competence consistently? Despite competency-based goals, structured tools like EPAs and DOPS are used in only a minority of countries. Can Europe move toward harmonised training? The study highlights clear opportunities for shared standards and a more aligned future for GI training.
