Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Augmented Reality GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

This group will receive the same 4 hours of small group teaching and 6-hours of hands-on simulator training. The intervention is the augmented reality-based curriculum: (1) a brief explanation of the principles of AR and how it will be used during the VR simulations and (2) performance of the therapeutic procedure (polypectomy) as demonstrated by the real-time AR platform. Specific videos corresponding to the therapeutic intervention and pathology (e.g pedunculated vs non-pedunculated polyp) will be available every time a polypectomy is required. Each new module will come with increased technical challenges and will require adjustment to previously used technique by the learner. The last two hours of training on the high-fidelity simulator will consist of two integrated scenarios.

Group II: Conventional Simulation CurriculumActive Control1 Intervention

Four, one-hour small-group sessions on the theory of colonoscopy including pathology, anatomy, and therapeutic technique. Following each session, a multiple choice test on topics covered will be administered. In addition, this group will be given a total of six hours of expert-assisted instruction on both the low-fidelity simulator (1 hour) and the high-fidelity VR simulator (5 hours). During the high-fidelity simulation, endoscopic procedures will be performed with instructor support. The difficulty of the therapeutic intervention (polypectomy) will rise after each successfully completed module. The last two hours of training on the high-fidelity simulator will consist of two integrated scenarios.
