Computerized Learning Is a Building Block But We Still Have Far to Go

The American Journal of Gastroenterology

Abstract

High-resolution manometry has revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of esophageal motility disorders. The color plots are consistent with the visual pattern recognition that makes up much of our endoscopic training in gastroenterology. Computerized learning is an important addition to teaching this skill, especially because most gastroenterology training programs offer meager motility expertise and experience. However, it is just a basic building block for the development of young esophageal and motility experts. It is a good beginning, but the trainee needs a thorough understanding of the limitations of HRM, the important role of other esophageal function tests, and how best to incorporate these tests into a multidiscipline care plan for patients. The best approach is not technology alone but how it is applied by a master clinician in a busy esophageal center of excellence.
