How to make cost-effective polyp simulators for high-fidelity simulation-based training in postpolypectomy bleeding management and EMR
Post written by Ally Zhao, OSSD, from the Division of Gastroenterology, St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The video article showcases 3 novel endoscopic simulators designed for practicing management of postpolypectomy bleeding, conventional EMR, and underwater EMR. Common and inexpensive household materials can be used to assemble these simulators, as demonstrated in a stepwise manner in …
Progressive learning in endoscopy simulation training improves clinical performance
Post written by Samir C. Grover, MD, MEd, FRCPC, from the Division of Gastroenterology, St. Michael’s Hospital Department of Medicine, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We aimed to improve existing simulation-based training curricula for teaching novices how to perform colonoscopy using progressive learning. We recognized that a theory-based approach to designing a curriculum in …
