ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying two different ways to help medical trainees learn a challenging procedure called endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), which is used to diagnose and treat problems in the bile and pancreatic ducts. The trial compares traditional hands-on assistance, where a trainer is physically present in the room, to off-site assistance, where a trainer guides the trainee remotely using a screen. The goal is to see if the remote guidance can be just as effective as having the trainer right there in the room.
To participate in this trial, patients must be between 18 and 90 years old, and they should have a normal anatomy in their digestive system. However, those with certain conditions, like previous failed procedures or specific types of digestive anatomy, won't be eligible. If you join the trial, you can expect to receive ERCP treatment while helping researchers understand the best ways to train future doctors in this procedure. This study is currently looking for participants, and everyone is welcome, regardless of gender.
