The aim of the study is to clarify whether physicians training for gastroscopies benefit from a modified training course. The duration and type of optimized use of training simulators as part of a basic gastroscopy course can lead to a higher level of competence in patient examinations (main target parameters) than conventional use. Further goals are the comparison of the theoretical knowledge gained through the modified versus conventional course, as well as the self-assessment of the participants.
