Abstract:
Endoscopy safety and quality depend on practitioner expertise, but traditional apprenticeship yields slow, uneven skill development. This article describes the Academy of Endoscopy's Train-the-Trainer program, translating science of expertise and simulation-based mastery learning (SBML) into scalable education. A framework is implemented: Level 1 Simulator-Based Trainers deliver SBML with standardized assessments; Level 2 Curriculum Designers create and validate minimum passing standards and oversee implementation; Level 3 Course Organizers scale SBML regionally and nationally. Results show Level 1 trainers improving instructional skills and trainee performance; Level 2 curricula validated; Level 3 international expansion. In conclusion, trained faculty enable safe, scalable SBML adoption.
