The Federation of Royal Colleges,the British Society of Gastroenterology(BSG)and the European Section and Board of Gastroenterology and Hepatology developed the European Specialty Examination in Gastroenterology and Hepatology(ESEGH)from the United Kingdom Specialty Certificate Examination,which was the original examination.Since 2018 the Specialty Certificate Examination and the ESEGH were combined into a single exam,identical across Europe and the rest of the world.The ESEGH is mandated in 4 countries(United Kingdom,Switzerland,The Netherlands and Malta)and the number of entries increased from 50 in 2014 to 490 in 2019.Candidates from countries were the ESEGH is not mandated are sitting the Exam,showing us they realize the enormous interest of holding a certificate for knowledge in their Curriculum.We also have an increasing number of candidates from countries outside Europe.
