Abstract 3 Impact of Trainee Experience on the Decision to Perform Endoscopy on Weekends

Guidelines recommend endoscopy with 24 hours of admission for patients who present with suspected upper gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB).

Weekend endoscopy is therefore typically reserved for a subset of higher acuity patients. We sought to determine if trainee experience influences the decision to proceed with upper endoscopy on weekends.
