Abstract
Medical education and training are the foundation of good clinical practice; in this regard, simulation and virtual training machinery now seek to facilitate increased task proficiency to improve patient safety, reduce medical errors, and enhance professional communication and team management skills. IR simulation is a safe, and well-established training modality which offers a huge number of scenarios (US guidance, biopsies, drainages, variety of endovascular interventions, endovascular stroke management and more) for practicing a wide array of procedural and non-procedural skills and has a potential to revolutionize clinical skills training in IR. In the future, complex procedures could be evaluated by virtual and augmented reality, and in some cases could be followed by 3D printing of models for rehearsal in order to find patient-specific, optimal technique.
