Introduction: The development of guidelines by gastroenterology societies increasingly stress evidence based endoscopic practice. We performed a systematic assessment to determine whether endoscopic video teaching platforms incorporate evidence-based principles and educational techniques.

Methods: Teaching platforms with a video component were systematically identified by two reviewers independently and in duplicate using the Google search engine, Apple and Android application stores, and searching four major gastroenterology society websites, to identify all relevant platforms. Two video samples from each teaching platform were reviewed by a single reviewer and assessed for a priori defined principles of evidence-based medicine and the use of simulation.

Results: Fourteen platforms were included in the final analysis, and 2 random videos from each were analyzed. Nine of the 14 platforms were not transparent in regards to citation. One of the 14 platforms based its teaching on guidelines and used simulation consistently. None of the platforms consistently cited the certainty of evidence or explained how evidence was selected.

Discussion: Education of guideline-based endoscopic management strategies using principles of evidence-based medicine is under-utilized in endoscopic video teaching platforms. There is a paucity of platforms that invite the learner to make real-time management decisions in a simulated endoscopy procedure. An evidence-based cognitive endoscopy simulator designed for fellows that incorporates simulation and systematic evaluation of evidence does not exist and efforts should be made to create this platform
