Endoscopy of the upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) develops rapidly. New endoscopes in combination with special imaging techniques allow complete examinations of the UADT in an ambulatory setting. Therefore, it is necessary to educate and train young physicians in a standardized protocol. A special anatomical training model has been designed to allow a stepwise endoscopy training course. It can be used by specialists who would like to take advantage of transnasal VideoPanendoscopy for examination of suitable candidate patients. This method offers advantages for ENT doctors, gastroenterologists as well as endoscopic surgeons.
