Gastrointestinal (GI) endoscope is one of the instruments used extensively in the diagnosis and treatment of digestive tract disorders. China is confronted with a great demand for endoscopists working in grassroots healthcare facilities. Furthermore, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) are becoming the prevailing methods of endoscopic treatment of digestive diseases. Therefore, there is a growing demand for senior endoscopists. Currently, an important focus of GI endoscopy training is the acceleration of standardized training for endoscopists working in grassroots health facilities and advanced training for senior endoscopists. Simulation devices based on virtual reality technology exhibit strengths in objectivity, authenticity, and an immersive experience. These devices show advantages in the training method, the number of participants, and assessment over traditional training programs for GI endoscopy. Their application provides a new approach to the training and teaching of GI endoscopy. Herein, we summarized the explorations and practices of using virtual reality technology in the training and teaching of GI endoscopy, analyzed its application status in China, and discussed its prospects for future application.
胃肠道（GI）内窥镜是广泛用于诊断和治疗消化道疾病的器械之一。中国对基层医疗机构内镜医师的需求很大。此外，内镜逆行胰胆管造影（ERCP）、内镜超声检查（EUS）和内镜黏膜下剥离术（ESD）正成为消化系统疾病内镜治疗的主流方法。因此，对高级内镜医师的需求日益增长。目前，胃肠内镜培训的一个重要重点是加快对基层医疗机构内镜医师的规范化培训以及对高级内镜医师的进阶培训。基于虚拟现实技术的模拟设备在客观性、真实性和沉浸式体验方面具有优势。这些设备在培训方法、参与人数和评估方面比传统的胃肠内镜培训项目更具优势。它们的应用为胃肠内镜培训和教学提供了一种新方法。在此，我们总结了虚拟现实技术在胃肠内镜培训和教学中的探索与实践，分析了其在中国的应用现状，并探讨了其未来应用前景。
