Abstract: Objective To explore whether the laparoscopic simulation training can improve medical students endoscopy skills and alleviating their anxiety. Methods Students of 8-year program of clinical medicine were recruited without the laparoscopic training in Peking Union Medical College to conduct anxiety questionnaire survey, and perform laparoscopic simulation training. Students who completed 20 hours of training would be assessed and conduct anxiety questionnaire survey again. Results After training, the performance of laparoscopic operation improved (P＜0.05), and the degree of anxiety decreased(P＜0.05). Conclusions Carrying out laparoscopic simulation training has a good teaching effect.
