This is a randomized controlled trial evaluating three training intervals using an endoscopy simulator for novices and comparing performance after training.
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.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Validated proficiency score (GAGES "Global assessment for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy") for group one | Score is a validated measuring tool based on intubation, scope navigation, ability to keep a clear endoscopic visualization and instrumentation. | Score is evaluated after one week training |
| Validated proficiency score (GAGES "Global assessment for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy") for group three | Score is a validated measuring tool based on intubation, scope navigation, ability to keep a clear endoscopic visualization and instrumentation. | Score is evaluated after three weeks of training |
| Validated proficiency score (GAGES "Global assessment for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy") for group two | Score is a validated measuring tool based on intubation, scope navigation, ability to keep a clear endoscopic visualization and instrumentation. | Score is evaluated after two weeks of training |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Simulator score | Scores as evaluated by the Simbionix simulator software | Score is evaluated after the training period (at one week for group 1, at 2 weeks for group 2, and at three weeks for group 3) |
