The Gold Standard Simulator For GI Endoscopy
The GI Mentor is an evidence-based simulator family for training of gastrointestinal upper and lower endoscopic procedures. It offers a comprehensive library of modules with more than 120 tasks and virtual patient cases. The simulators provide multiple training opportunities, starting with constructive endoscopy skill tasks, through true-to-life patient cases ranging from simple diagnostic procedures to advanced ERCP, Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) and ESD procedures.
The GI Mentor comes in two versions, either the fully loaded GI Mentor on the ENDO Suite platform, or the smaller, portable GI Express.

Validation Studies
The time to visualize the papilla, cannulate deeply, reach a diagnosis, complete sphincterotomy, and complete the intervention was significantly shorter for experts when managing cystic leakage, corroborating construct validity of the GI Mentor simulator.
The purpose of this multicenter study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the hands-on component of the FES examination, and to establish the pass score. Results on the five tasks showed good internal consistency reliability and all had significant correlations with endoscopic experience, suggesting that the setup of the FES simulation exam meets rigorous standards of reliability and validity required for high-stakes examinations, and, together with the knowledge component, may help contribute to the definition and determination of competence in endoscopy.
