Capacitation Course
The global pandemic caused by the coronavirus has brought about several consequences on many levels or spheres. Our lives have undergone significant changes, not only personally but also professionally. An example in this regard is the cancellation of most in-person educational events worldwide.
The uncertainty in which we had been living for months prevented us from setting new dates for cancellations or developing new events in the short to medium term. Therefore, anticipating the circumstances, we decided to modify our main course format, while maintaining the philosophy. Our new main courses will now be conducted on-line and will have a longer duration, allowing us to increase the “hands-on” hours, which, with no doubt, was an area that could be improved in the on-site courses.
In summary…

Objectives
Course attendees will acquire the following competencies:
- Optimization of the use of the technique through updates on its indications and contraindications.
- Understanding of the specifics and operation of the latest version of the reading software.
- Learning of a specific reading method.
- Recognition of complications and how to prevent them.
- Accurate interpretation of normal and abnormal images.
- Creation of properly structured reports.
- Knowledge of the necessary materials for conducting the procedure and how to do it.
- Lesion characterization: classification, size, and location.
- Reaching the learning curve in video reading: small intestine and colon.
“At the beginning of the Course, all the materials will be uploaded to a virtual platform, although the attendee will only have access to the content of the corresponding week. Topics will be delivered through video-classes accompanied based on pptx. presentations. Additionally, all topics will have associated video-classes with related images, self-assessment tests, and texts providing in-depth explanations, as well as recommended bibliography in .pdf format.
All attendees will be able to access an interactive calendar included in the virtual platform to check the topics scheduled for each week, allowing them to download or view the materials. Periodically, tutorials, Q&A sessions, and webinars on crucial topics will be planned, complementing the attendees’ education.
During the Hands-on sessions, segmented and complete videos specifically selected for the Course will be reviewed. The reports for each examination will be sent to the teacher for correction and returned with relevant feedback. The scores for each reading will be included in a database, allowing the attendee’s progress to be tracked and showing when they complete their learning curve.
At the end of the training period, a final comprehensive exam will be conducted to assess the attendee’s proficiency in the subject matter. Attendees who do not pass this test will have the opportunity to do so after an additional review of the blocks or topics in which they did not meet the required grade.”
