Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Nasopharyngoscopic Velopharyngeal Evaluation Clinician Experience	2 Months	A 9-question perceptual survey was created to evaluate the participants' self-confidence and self-competence in performing nasopharyngoscopic velopharyngeal evaluation. The survey was adapted from a 5-point Likert-type survey previously used in simulation-based transnasal endoscopy training on swallowing assessment (Benadom \& Potter, 2011).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Training Satisfaction Survey	2 Months	A training satisfaction survey consisting of a total of 7 questions (four Likert-type and three open-ended question) was created to learn the evaluations of the participants regarding the importance, effectiveness, appropriateness and satisfaction level of the simulation trainings. The survey was adapted from the form created by Uz-Hasırcı (2020).
Procedure time	2 Months	This is the time from the moment the endoscope enters the nostril until it reaches the point of visualization of the velopharyngeal sphincter. This time does not include the time the endoscope is removed from the nose and reinserted.
Volunteer Experience for Nasopharyngoscopic Velopharyngeal Evaluation	2 Months	A 6-question survey was created to allow volunteers to perceptually assess the competence and confidence of the clinician after the endoscope was administered to the volunteers. The survey was adapted from a 5-point Likert-type survey previously used in simulation-based transnasal endoscopy training in swallowing assessment (Benadom \& Potter, 2011).
