The NASPGHAN Training Committee is devoted to continuously improving the training of the next generation of pediatric gastroenterologists.
NASPGHAN strongly supports participation in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) to promote a fair, transparent, and standardized recruitment process for all trainees. Participation in the Match ensures a consistent timeline, reduces pressure on candidates to make early commitments, and upholds professionalism in fellowship selection. Pediatric gastroenterology fellowship programs are expected to participate in the Match, and NASPGHAN expects programs to ensure that our specialty follows NRMP best practices.
NASPGHAN's recommendations align with those of the Council of Pediatric Subspecialties (COPS), the Association of Medical School Pediatric Department Chairs (AMSPDC), and the Association of Pediatric Program Directors (APPD). Together, these organizations advocate for uniform recruitment practices that prioritize trainee autonomy and foster integrity in the selection process.
This page includes resources and links that can be used by resident, fellows, and training program directors.
NASPGHAN provides lifelong continuing education for members at every level of their career.
