Читать книгу Successful Training in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy - Группа авторов - Страница 17

Gastrointestinal endoscopy has grown increasingly more complex as the field has evolved over the past several decades, now requiring the practitioner to become proficient at many techniques. To perform high‐quality care, endoscopists often have had to devote time to learn new techniques as well as take care to continually maintain existing skills. As the technology and applications have progressed, so too have the methods by which individuals have learned to perform these procedures. In this chapter, we will trace the evolution in training from the self‐taught pioneers of the early days to the advent of formal proctored tutelage that remains the mainstay of training in this field. The chapter will also relate the emergence of numerous innovative learning tools that have already served to further transform training in gastrointestinal endoscopy. In particular, we will describe the development of simulator‐based instruction from the creation of realistic models to their validation and growing importance in endoscopic training. Lastly, we will address a number of novel principles of education in endoscopy that have paralleled the growing availability of these new teaching tools.
