This document analyzes the reasons for organizing an abdomi- nal ultrasound training for Belgian trainees in hepatogastro- enterology. The hepatogastroenterology speciality should implement, together with the radiology speciality and the national scientific and professional associations, the minimum training requirements which are proposed by the European Board of Gastroenterology and Hepatology and the European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology. Trainees in hepatogastroenterology should acquire the same theoretical and practical training as radiologists, they should be taught and super- vised by competent instructors and have their expertise evaluated.
