- Video-based assessments: a promising step in improving polypectomy competencyGastrointestinal EndoscopyVol. 89Issue 6
- PreviewAssessment is a critical component of endoscopic training, credentialing, and quality assurance. Evidence suggests significant variation in polypectomy competency among practicing endoscopists.1 The consequences of subpar polypectomy and incomplete resection are significant and include postcolonoscopy colorectal cancer.2 As such, polypectomy quality, although not currently highlighted in major society guidelines, is likely to become an important endoscopy quality metric in years to come. To properly measure quality, identify practice gaps, and highlight areas for improvement, robust assessment processes are necessary.
