iii. Communication<br />

iv. Professionalism<br />

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 />
