Multiple factors beyond realism influence the development and selection of gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy simulators. Cost, technology, and logistical considerations are crucial for effective simulation-based training programs.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Simulation
  • Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Training

Background:

  • Numerous endoscopy simulators have been developed over several decades.
  • The evolution of these simulators is driven by various influencing factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight that realistic simulation is only one aspect of effective simulation-based training in GI endoscopy.
  • To identify and discuss critical logistical factors influencing the choice and development of endoscopy simulators.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing endoscopy simulators and their development.
  • Analysis of logistical factors impacting simulator-based training.
  • Summary of logistical considerations for different simulator types (Table 1).

Main Results:

  • Factors such as cost, technological limitations, facility management, personnel, and animal welfare significantly impact simulator options.
  • Procurement, handling, and disposal of animal parts are also major considerations.
  • These logistical factors are critical in simulator design, development, and curriculum organization.

Conclusions:

  • Simulator-based training in GI endoscopy requires careful consideration of numerous logistical factors beyond simulation fidelity.
  • These practical considerations are paramount for the successful design, development, and implementation of endoscopy simulation curricula.
