Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Systems that simulate endoscopic procedures have considerable potential in assessing endoscopic competence and assisting credentialing, but there are significant problems. If it can be shown that simulation tests correlate with real performance, the questions will be how to pay for the infrastructure and staff and how to motivate endoscopists to use them.
