Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Colonoscopy is a complex, highly operator dependent, practical skill. The consistent attainment of key performance indicators (KPIs) by endoscopists depends primarily upon training. Local factors can make training unstructured and contingent upon the observed practice of a small number of trainers. The investigators sought to demonstrate the feasibility and impact of a virtual-live one day colonoscopy-training course.

- label
- Interventional arm
- description
- All participant trainees will undergo the educational intervention, therefore there is only one arm since all participants will undergo the intervention. The intervention is a day where participants (the trainees) will undergo a full day of training in colonoscopy. Comparison of key performance measures in colonoscopy is made before and after the intervention.
