Figure 1 Sedlack et al demonstrated that a curriculum incorporating computer simulation training improved a number of bedside performance metrics including greater cecal intubation rates in novice trainees shown here.5 This advantage disappears after 30 procedures as traditionally trained fellows catch up. Each group had 4 novice fellows participating, and each stage had 58–60 procedure evaluations per group. (Error bars represent the 25%–75% interquartile range.)
