ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on improving the skills of advanced endoscopy trainees (AETs) who are learning to perform a procedure called colorectal endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). EMR is a technique used to remove abnormal tissue from the colon. The study aims to establish how well these trainees are learning by using a standardized assessment tool. This will help set clear goals for what trainees should be able to do by certain points in their training, ensuring they develop the necessary skills and competence in performing this important procedure.

To participate in this study, AETs must be starting their advanced endoscopy fellowship training in 2022, regardless of their previous experience with colorectal EMR. Additionally, patients who are 18 years or older and are undergoing a colonoscopy with EMR performed by one of these trainees will also be involved in the study. Participants can expect that their experiences during the procedure will contribute to the training and evaluation of these future specialists, ultimately improving patient care in colorectal health.
