Exploration of an effective training system for the diagnosis of pancreatobiliary diseases with EUS: A prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

There are limited data on multistage-based training programs focused on EUS. We aimed to explore an effective training system for diagnosing pancreaticobiliary diseases with EUS.

Materials and methods

Nine advanced endoscopy trainees (AETs) with less EUS experience from nine institutions were recruited. The training system consisted of multiple stages and multi-teaching methods, including biliopancreatic standard scanning, anatomy and imaging knowledge, simulator, hands-on operations, error correction, and case analysis over a 12-month training period. Grading for technical and cognitive skills was assessed using The EUS Skills Assessment Tool.

Results

After training, the overall scores for radial (4.16 ± 0.21 vs. 1.46 ± 0.16, P < 0.01) and li
