The Quality of Colonoscopy Services – Responsibilities of Referring Clinicians

This report, The Quality of Colonoscopy Services – Responsibilities of Referring Clinicians: A Consensus Statement of the Quality Assurance Task Group, National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable, published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine in 2010, provides criteria that primary care physicians can use when choosing a colonoscopist.
