Key Words	Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy; Esophagogastroduodenoscopy; Beginner; Procedure; Technical skill
Core Tip	The demand for esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) has been increasing annually, especially in Asian countries. However, it is challenging to learn the procedure, due to its long learning curve. Therefore, care must be taken in teaching, learning, and practicing the procedure. We believe that if beginners learn how to perform EGD properly through an adequate training program and then perform the procedure effectively on patients, public health will improve.
