Objective To assess the feasibility of gastroscopy training with AccuTouch(R) Endoscopy Simulator for novice endoscopists. Methods The novice endoscopists ( n = 8 ) were divided into 2 groups to receive training with the simulator ( group A, n = 4) or with traditional method ( group B, n = 4). After the training, we compared the success rate of independent performance, success rate with aids and failure rate for the first 10 cases between 2 groups. Results There were no significant differences between 2 groups in terms of age, gender, educational background and experience of practice. The group A showed higher independent success rate and success rate with aids, and lower failure rate. Conclusion The simulator, decreasing the learning fees and improving learning efficiency, is applicable to endoscopist training.
