title: Rational colonoscopy, realistic simulation, and accelerated teaching.
abstract: The authors hope that the combination of ScopeGuide imager (to make sense of colon looping) and the new-generation Colonoscopy Simulator (allowing structured teaching and repetitive practice) will make it possible to accelerate colonoscopy training and perhaps also will provide an acceptable way of re-honing the skills of existing endoscopists.
