Core Tip Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is technically demanding and difficult for beginners to master through traditional teaching alone. This study developed a three-dimensional (3D) printed ERCP simulation model incorporating key biliary anatomical structures for procedural training. Compared with conventional theoretical and video-based instruction, the model significantly improved trainees’ understanding of biliary anatomy, procedural proficiency, and learning confidence, suggesting that 3D-printed simulation models may represent an effective tool for ERCP training and surgical education.
