With the rising burden of gastrointestinal diseases, high\u2010quality and standardised training is essential. United European Gastroenterology (UEG) aims to harmonise gastroenterology training across Europe.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This multicentre observational study analysed national gastroenterology training curricula from 51 UEG national member societies. Between February and December 2024, curricula were obtained via national societies and online resources. Analysis focussed on five domains: (1) clinical core knowledge, (2) technical and procedural skills, (3) research, (4) non\u2010technical competencies and (5) mentoring and assessment structures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Median training duration was 60\u00a0months (IQR 48\u201372). Only 7.1% of curricula allowed part\u2010time training; fewer than 17% permitted early sub\u2010specialisation.\n                      <jats:italic>Clinical core knowledge<\/jats:italic>\n                      : All curricula defined core clinical competencies, including hepatology, upper gastrointestinal disorders, pancreatic and IBD care.\n                      <jats:italic>Technical and procedural skills<\/jats:italic>\n                      : Basic endoscopy was universally required, with a median of 300 gastroscopies and 200 colonoscopies. Advanced procedures featured in 70.0% of curricula, with substantial variation.\n                      <jats:italic>Research<\/jats:italic>\n                      : Research training appeared in 76.2% of curricula, though structure and depth varied.\n                      <jats:italic>Non\u2010technical competencies<\/jats:italic>\n                      : Non\u2010technical competencies were covered in only 11.9%; communication (64.3%), leadership (26.2%), and professionalism (23.8%) were most common. Areas like shared decision\u2010making, interprofessional collaboration, AI, and sustainability were rarely included.\n                      <jats:italic>Training, mentoring and assessment frameworks<\/jats:italic>\n                      : Training centre and trainer requirements were specified in 26.2% and 23.8% of curricula, respectively. One\u2010third included formal mentoring. Competency\u2010based objectives were present in 78.6% and logbooks in 42.9%. Few used structured tools: EPAs (7.1%), DOPS (9.5%) and Mini\u2010CEX (2.4%). Exams were common; 9.5% used the ESEGH. The UEG Blue Book was cited in 24%.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Competency\u2010based training is widespread, but structured assessments and non\u2010technical skills are inconsistently addressed.
