This trial is for trainees in adult and pediatric gastroenterology fellowships, as well as general surgery residencies at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. Participants must consent to join and will provide demographic information.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if supervision during endoscopy simulation training affects learning outcomes. Trainees are randomly assigned to start with either supervised or unsupervised colonoscopy modules before switching to the other type.See study design
