What this trial studies
This observational study evaluates the comfort levels of interventional and diagnostic imaging residents in performing simulated endovascular procedures following their training on the Mentice endovascular simulator device. Participants will complete a survey before and after the training to assess changes in their confidence and skills. The goal is to enhance hands-on training in a low-risk environment, ultimately leading to safer patient encounters in real clinical settings.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are current interventional and diagnostic radiology residents who are participating in the training curriculum.
Not a fit: Patients who are not involved in the training or are not residents in interventional or diagnostic radiology may not receive any benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this training could significantly improve the preparedness and confidence of residents, leading to better patient outcomes in endovascular procedures.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success in using simulation training to improve the skills and confidence of medical trainees, indicating that this approach is promising.
