Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study is to evaluate how doctors in training are different from very experienced doctors when using force to perform colonoscopy with a device that monitors the amount of force applied to the colonoscope during colonoscopy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study consists of two sequential observational studies designed to identify which instrument should be used to assess trainee performance and to quantify trainee skill development in performance of colonoscopy over the course of their training program.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Patients undergoing diagnostic or screening colonoscopy ASA Class I or II
* All ethnic and racial groups will be included
* Able to comprehend, sign and date the written informed consent form (ICF)
