The role of simulators, models, phantoms. Where's the evidence?

Introduction

Training to a level of competency for EUS is challenging and involves a long learning curve. Exposure to EUS cases may be limited and thus learning tools need to be developed to decrease the number of supervised examinations in patients required to master this. Also, the trainees have to reach a certain skill level in the limited period of EUS fellowship. A few learning tools have been developed to allow a faster learning of EUS and EUS-FNA.
