Abstract: Objective To compare the effect of progressive teaching pattern with traditional long-term training on improvement of trainees ability of endoscopic ultrasonography ( EUS ) . Methods Ten learners who have achieved competence on routine endoscopic procedures but without any knowledge and skills on EUS procedures were enrolled in the study, and were randomly divided into two groups according to the sequence number. Learners with odd number received traditional long-term training, and the even number learners received progressive teaching. The proficiency of EUS knowledge and skills in the two groups were compared after one-year learning. Results At the final examination, the learners′ ability of mastering EUS was higher, and the study leave time was shorter in the progressive teaching group than that in the traditional long-term training group. however, we didn′t have a statistical comparison owing to the few numbers of trainees. Conclusion Progressive teaching pattern is superior to the traditional training, and it should be advocated when hospitals are relatively understaffed.
