Imaging Studies III: Gastrointestinal Motility Studies and Virtual Colonoscopy

204
This lesson explores three gastrointestinal imaging techniques: radionuclide testing, colonic transit studies, and virtual colonoscopy.
Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Virtual Assessment

Background:

  • Transitioning in-person assessments to virtual formats is crucial for continuity in medical education.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated rapid adaptation of recruitment and assessment strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility of virtual skills assessments for general surgery residency applicants.
  • To assess both technical and non-technical skills using a virtual multiple mini-interview (MMI) format.

Main Methods:

  • 109 general surgery residency applicants underwent virtual MMIs over two days.
  • Synchronous assessment of communication, emotional intelligence, anatomical knowledge, and test interpretation.
  • Asynchronous assessment of knot tying and suturing skills via recorded submissions.

Main Results:

  • The virtual MMI format successfully assessed technical and non-technical skills.
  • Applicants rated the virtual MMI experience highly (4.3/5).
  • The majority of applicants felt virtual station objectives were met.

Conclusions:

  • Virtual skills assessments are a feasible and effective method for evaluating general surgery residency applicants.
  • This approach enables residency programs to assess candidates when in-person gatherings are not possible.
  • Virtual assessments may offer a comprehensive view of applicant capabilities.
