From January 2018 the Specialty Certificate Examination (SCE) in Gastroenterology and the European Section and Board of Gastroenterology and Hepatology Examination (ESBGHE), was replaced by the European Specialty Examination in Gastroenterology and Hepatology (ESEGH).
The ESEGH is the General Medical Council (GMC, UK) approved mandatory summative assessment of knowledge for UK trainees in Gastroenterology and Hepatology.
For European based candidates, the examination is a demonstration of having achieved the knowledge necessary to fulfil the requirements of the ESBGH curriculum which is a Europe-wide description of the level expected of a specialist in gastroenterology and hepatology. The ESEGH is mandated for trainees in the Netherlands and Switzerland.
Candidates from Europe, UK, and the rest of the world can take this high quality examination which ensures that certified specialists have sufficient knowledge of gastroenterology and hepatology.
