Implementing Endoscopy Simulation Nationally.

This article presents the Philippine experience in implementing Simulation-Based Mastery Learning (SBML) for endoscopy training nationwide. Addressing gaps in traditional apprenticeship models, a structured, competency-based curriculum was developed and piloted, emphasizing simulation, deliberate practice, and objective assessment. Through faculty training, curriculum standardization, and policy integration, SBML became a national requirement for GI fellows. Outcomes include improved procedural competency, reduced complications, and high trainee satisfaction. The program has been recognized internationally and adopted in other countries. This model demonstrates that with planning, collaboration, and policy support, SBML can transform endoscopy education and elevate training standards globally.
