This is a timeline of FIXME.

Big picture

Time period Development summary
1960s Societies of endoscopy become widely established and provided, for persons in gastroenterology training, courses in the appropriate indications for endoscopic investigation and formal teaching of the techniques involved.[1]
20th century Since the 1970s, endoscopy starts becomming the incontrovertible tool of gastroenterology.[1]
