Highlights: Curriculum uses videos, text, and assessment questions to explore how optics are used in endoscopy to observe interior cavities of the body.
Abstract: Endoscopic surgeries have become widespread with the availability of optical technology. The endoscopic assemblage consists of a lens system, light source, and collection system that projects an image from inside the body onto the surgeon's eye or camera. This curriculum covers refraction, total internal reflection, black body radiation, oscillations, standing waves, photons, illumination, and imaging through fibers and lenses, digital detectors, and the harmonic scalpel. The curriculum includes a manuscript, video series from a medical professional, video comprehension questions, and pre-lecture checkpoints and homework problems.
