Basic
GI Endoscopy Skills Training Workshop was organised by CIME in
collaboration with Getz Pharma. Endoscopy is a minimally invasive
diagnostic medical procedure used to examine a person's GI tract using
an Endoscope, a flexible tube with a light and camera attached to it.
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy is a complex skill, requiring a period of
formal training and experience under close supervision. Only a skilled
professional with ample training can provide the high standards of
patient care, accuracy in diagnosis, and appropriate therapeutic
interventions with avoidance of complications.
The purpose of this
workshop was to provide aspiring gastroenterologists and
gastrointestinal surgeons a combination of theory with hands-on
practical sessions. It helped to develop an understanding of the
important underlying principles of endoscope, an introduction to the
essential core skills of endoscopy and the opportunity to gain hands-on
experience on the technical aspects of how to safely handle an
endoscope.
15 health care professionals participated in this
workshop. It began with an introductory lecture discussing the
theoretical aspects of endoscopy which includes detailed information on
the scope structure, design and function and also covered important
aspects of endoscopy such as consent, procedure, indications,
contraindications and complications. The participants were evaluated on
the basis of quiz (KAHOOT). They then had one-on-one hands-on experience on GI Mentor in the hi-fidelity simulation lab starting with task based exercise and then with case based normal clinical scenarios for the application and integration of knowledge
and skills and the ability to appreciate the normal GI tract anatomy so
that they can differentiate it with the pathologies. Later on, they were provided with complicated case base scenarios on the basis of which they were evaluated. Each of the case had its separate set of learning objectives and tasks. At the end of this workshop, the participants were evaluated on the basis of assessment on their skills and pre & post assessment form.
