Brief Summary

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

Specially educated trainers will be responsible for colonoscopy training of junior doctors. The educated trainers will have attended seminars held by Valori et al.

The following fast track colonoscopy training program for junior doctors will consist of: 1) Endoscopy simulation training and theory course 2) supervised and partly supervised lower endoscopy. 3) Directly observed practical skills according graded by MCSAT (Mayo Clinical Skills Assessment Tool) .

Detailed Description

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

Initially a "train the trainers" program will begin with 3 sessions held by Valori et al. at Aalborg University Hospital. 6 Trainers are expected to be trained during the "train the trainers" program. The doctors selected for the "train the trainers" program are doctors specialized in abdominal surgery with an extensive lower GI-endoscopy experience and who is considered to have an excellent teaching ability to educate junior doctor.

The training program for junior doctors consist of the following:

* Initial 1 day endoscopy simulation and theory at Nordsim. Endoscopy simulation scores will be monitored.
* 20 days of fully supervised colonoscopies (max booking of 6 colonoscopies pr day). Trainer is always present in the endoscopy room
* MCSAT (Mayo Clinical Skills Assessment Tool) will be used to grade the trainee multiple times and planned at day 0,5,10,15 and 20. Multiple graders will be used.
* Simulator test will be held at day 0, 10 and 20 colonoscopies to validate progress and compare simulator generated measures with MCSAT. Both the AccuTouch and Symbionix simulator will be used,
