TL;DR
Fellows who underwent GI Mentor training performed significantly better during the early phase of real colonoscopy training, and a mixed-effects model demonstrated a higher objective competence overall in the simulator group.
Abstract
Fellows who underwent GI Mentor training performed significantly better during the early phase of real colonoscopy training.

Simulator-trained fellows outperformed traditionally trained fellows during their initial 15 colonoscopies in all performance aspects except “insertion time” (pp < 0.05), and CBCS-enhanced training may allow faculty to be more efficient with their colonoscopy practice.

New data demonstrate that there is substantial variation in outcomes of endoscopy in clinical practice, related in part to the prior training, subspecialty background, ongoing case volume, and the individual endoscopist.
