About this study

Twenty-five physicians (10 consultants with endoscopic experience and 15 fellows in the first year of fellowship without endoscopic experience) will be tested twice on each of the two different simulator models.

Metrics with discriminatory ability will be identified for both modalities. Reliability will be determined A pass/ fail standard will be determined and the concequences explored.
