Training the endoscopy trainer: from general principles to specific concepts

Open access
Coderre, Sylvain, Anderson, John, Rostom, Alaa, McLaughlin, Kevin·2010·Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology

Abstract

Endoscopy instruction has progressed a great deal in recent years, evolving from the age-old dictum of ‘see one, do one’ to the current skillful application of sound educational principles. Some of these educational principles are generic and applicable to the teaching of any content at all levels, while others are quite specific to technical skills training. The present review summarizes these important principles under the following headings: creating a learner-centred curriculum; delivering an achievable learning task; and moving from theory to practice. The present article challenges national gastroenterology organizations to embrace these concepts in structured, outcome-based educational programs.

  • Dual-task conditions decrease performance in both laboratory and medical settings.

    “Dual-task conditions are known to decrease perfor-mance in both laboratory settings [31] and medical settings [32][33][34][35] .”

    From Enhancing human-AI collaboration: The case of colonoscopy (2024) · cites this paper as [32]

    In “Delivering an Achievable Learning Task” (page unavailable), the paper says novices can have great difficulty with dual tasking and that competing stimuli can add cognitive load, particularly during colonoscopy. In “Moving from Theory to Practice” (page unavailable), it calls that load counterproductive for novice endoscopists. This supports the medical-setting concern, but does not establish that dual-task conditions decrease performance across medical settings generally. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
