mail survey among physicians who perform endoscopic colorectal
cancer screening and follow-up examinations to make an assessment
of the current national capacity to perform these examinations for
all appropriate persons in the U.S. The results of the analysis

regarding colorectal cancer procedures; (2) guide the development
of training initiatives and education programs for health care
providers; (3) provide critical baseline information for planning
national initiatives to increase colorectal cancer....
