2. Didactic material<br />
a. Appropriate differential diagnosis of lower GIB<br />
i. Broad differential diagnosis: anatomic (diverticulosis); vascular (angiodysplasia,<br />
ischemic, radiation-induced); inflammatory (infectious, idiopathic); neoplastic<br />
b. Pathophysiology of diverticular bleed<br />
c. Workup/Treatment options<br />
i. Discuss why endoscopy and colonoscopy are both warranted when searching for<br />
source of GIB<br />
ii. Discuss definitive way to determine origin of GIB<br />
iii. Other studies (radionuclide imaging, angiography)<br />
iv. Appropriate disposition – ICU vs floor, Surgical consultation (Hemodynamic<br />
instability, active bleeding..)<br />
d. Colon cancer<br />
i. Familial history<br />
ii. Surveillance<br />

Development and Deployment<br />
This case was developed as part of an elective GI pathophysiology module for second year medical<br />
students; the module combines cognitive and procedural (GI endoscopy) simulation, and has been<br />
deployed as a recurrent offering.<br />
