Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Randomized controlled trial evaluating different training intervals on an endoscopy simulator and comparing performance using a validated score (Global assessment of Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Skills). Physicians participating in the study are novices with no previous experience in flexible endoscopy. Subjects are randomized into three different training arms. Proficiency scores will be evaluated by a supervising physician blinded to group allocation.
