N1 - Funding Information: Trainees should acquire an understanding of the principles underlying colorectal cancer screening. This includes knowledge of the epidemiology of colorectal polyps and cancer, including the incidence of colorectal cancer in average-risk and high-risk persons and the prevalence of colon polyps by age and gender. Trainees should understand the mortality reduction demonstrated by randomized controlled trials of fecal occult blood testing and case-control studies of sigmoidoscopy and the rationale for combining fecal occult blood testing with flexible sigmoidoscopy. Trainees should understand the indications for screening flexible sigmoidoscopy in average-risk patients and for screening/surveillance examinations in high-risk patients as outlined in guidelines from the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research and the American Cancer Society 12 . They should also possess at least a rudimentary understanding of applicable national and local rules governing reimbursement for screening flexible sigmoidoscopy.
