Pilot EBE Simulation Video
Permission was obtained to adapt a pedunculated polyp video from YouTube.10 This video was chosen because it pertains to an endoscopic situation most GI trainees encounter during fellowship. The video was then modified to incorporate the following educational features: interactivity, simulation, and transparent, guideline-based discussion of the evidence. We searched the literature for systematic reviews and guidelines pertaining to this topic, and identified a recent Multi-Society Task Force
Results
Seven attending gastroenterologists contributed feedback during the pilot development phase. (Supplementary Tables 1, 3, and 4: Feedback for Pilot Video, EDU Survey Feedback and Final Questions, and PROD Survey Feedback). All 18 enrolled participants completed the video modules, surveys, and pre- and posttesting. Ten (55.5%) were attendings and 8 (44.4%) were gastroenterology trainees. Among the trainees, 2 (25%) were first-year fellows, 1 (12.5%) was a second-year fellow, and 5 (62.5%) were
Discussion
The newly developed EBE platform allowed learners to engage in a low-fidelity, experiential simulation for cognitive endoscopy forcing the trainee to replicate the emotions and cognitions that they would experience in a real patient care setting. There is significant evidence that simulation is a useful educational tool in medical education, and our EDU and PROD survey results indicate that trainees value this style of learning.22, 23, 24 EBE, a self-learning, mobile platform, is complementary
