In our last episode of the Bowel Sounds Summer School series (at least for this year), hosts Dr. Jason Silverman and Dr. Jennifer Lee have gathered highlights from past episodes on endoscopy to create an episode filled with clinical and teaching pearls.  Former expert guests Dr. Jenifer Lightdale, Dr. Catharine Walsh, and Dr. Looi Ee explain the elements of quality endoscopy, how to teach endoscopy, perform difficult colonoscopies, and even how to keep endoscopists healthy throughout their career.

Be sure to also check out the great hands-on, colonoscopy skills and train the trainer workshops held during the NASPGHAN Annual Meeting each year!

Our Bowel Sounds Summer School series includes four episodes on big topics in our field, artisanally crafted for the ears of learners of all stages from the young student to the seasoned attending.
