Su1551 A Simulation-Based Training Curriculum of Progressive Fidelity and Complexity Improves Technical and Non-Technical Skills in Colonoscopy: a Blinded, Randomized Trial

Graded delivery of simulation-based training (SBT) in endoscopy may improve initial clinical performance. Studies in SBT for simpler procedures demonstrate that progression from low- to high-fidelity simulator training results in superior skill transfer, compared to either low- or high-fidelity simulation alone. Aims: To determine whether an SBT curriculum of progressive fidelity and task complexity improves colonoscopy skill acquisition and transfer to the clinical setting, compared to a curriculum utilizing high-fidelity simulation in isolation.
