Training activity information
Details
Interpret and report a range of abnormal endoanal ultrasound scans for both male and female patients
Type
Entrustable training activity (ETA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee repeatedly, consistently, and effectively over time, in a range of situations. This may include occasions where the trainee has not successfully achieved the outcome of the activity themselves. For example, because it was not appropriate to undertake the task in the circumstances or the trainees recognised their own limitations and sought help or advice to ensure the activity reached an appropriate conclusion.
Reflection at multiple timepoints on the trainee learning journey for this activity.
Considerations
- The identification of normal anatomic landmarks and differences between a male and female pelvis
- Identification of abnormalities, such as sphincter defects, rectal prolapse, anal fistula and haemorrhoids
- Requirements for a high quality endoanal ultrasound scan report
- Anatomy and physiology
- Pathophysiology
- Artefact recognition
- Diagnoses
- Normal values
