Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Surgical Training Assessment

Background:

Current Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) often assess skills for later training stages, failing to capture mid-level resident progression.
This limits granular assessment, impacting resident motivation and early identification of struggling learners.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and describe a framework of nested EPAs for surgical training.
To establish a reproducible model for assessing mid-level resident competency across medical specialties.

Main Methods:

A systematic process generated 160 narratives for 10 nested EPAs across 4 performance domains and 4 autonomy levels.
A Delphi consensus study with 15 surgical experts finalized the nested EPAs and narratives, achieving 80% agreement.

Main Results:

The initial Delphi round achieved 85% consensus on 136 items.
A second round achieved 100% consensus on all 41 revised items, confirming the framework's viability.

Conclusions:

A novel framework for developing nested EPAs was successfully demonstrated.
This model provides a granular approach to assessing trainee progression in medical education.
