University of Texas Medical Branch Hospitals/University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center Program
About This Program
We incorporate simulation learning for endoscopy, including use of the Simbionix virtual simulator, adapting aspects of simulation-based mastery learning. - Clinical services are not fellow-dependent, providing flexibility for the fellow to attend educational conferences without the burden of looking for coverage. - The Outpatient Endoscopy & Research rotation balances time to achieve academic/research goals while maintaining exposure to endoscopy for ongoing skill development.
