Summary

This study aims to determine whether multi-patient CT-derived digital twin anatomical variability training can shorten the early clinical learning curve of novice bronchoscopists compared with conventional anatomically uniform bronchoscopy simulation training.

Interventions

OTHER

Multi-patient CT-derived digital twin anatomical variability training

Participants assigned to this intervention receive bronchoscopy simulation training using multiple patient-specific CT-derived digital twin airway models representing diverse bronchial anatomical patterns and variations. The training is designed to expose novice bronchoscopists to realistic inter-patient anatomical variability, with standardized instructor feedback, repeated navigation practice, and progressive procedural tasks aimed at improving adaptability, airway recognition, navigation efficiency, and early clinical bronchoscopy performance.

OTHER

Anatomically uniform standard-model bronchoscopy simulation training

Participants assigned to the control intervention receive bronchoscopy simulation training using a conventional anatomically uniform standard airway model without substantial anatomical variation between cases. Training duration, instructor supervision, and procedural objectives are standardized to match the intervention group, focusing on basic bronchoscopy handling, airway navigation, and procedural technique within a fixed and repetitive anatomical environment
