what to look for in advanced endoscopy program

[Suprep]

currently a second year fellow, preparing for advanced match next year. can you guys give pointers to what to look up in the respective programs when applying?

My understanding is most programs(except few) require the advanced fellow to do EGD and colon 1 day a week, that will support their salary. My hope is get trained in ERCP, EUS, EMR, BE treatment, luminal stenting and possibly some intro to bariatric endoscopy(optional). Eventually plan to work in semi-academic environment.

Unless you already have a job lined up, I'd try to get a spot in the general area where you want to practice. All politics is local

Doesn't many advanced positions require a non compete in the area of training??

I don't know, honestly. None of the ones near me do but that doesnt surprise me.
