Interventional radiology (IR) training is not uniform throughout the world with clear
limitations to education, training, and procedural exposure based on regions within
different countries and the world. Varying technical exposure can lead to limitations
in technical and therapeutic opportunities for patients. Since hands-on exposure to
specific procedural skills may not occur in some locations, high fidelity endovascular
simulation training can provide an opportunity for technical skills to be learned
with an effort to increase patient exposure to care as well as improve technical procedural
skill learning.
