title: [Practical training in gastrointestinal endoscopy].
abstract: In this paper, we describe a practical approach to the gastrointestinal endoscopy. We comment on the basic clinical education, endoscopy training with static models, basic courses with animals, as well as a reference to audiovisual media as books, journals, videotapes and CDs. Also we deal with the computer simulation. We describe the strategies for the interventional endoscopy training, as well as the education in the future developments. At the end, we introduce a structured training in gastrointestinal endoscopy.
