Recommendations
As issued by the authors
Adopt proficiency-based progression with protocolized evaluation: predefined, validated performance metrics; benchmarking against expert standards; deliberate practice with structured feedback; summative assessment before patient procedures
Pragmatic solutions: tiered certification tracks, hybrid digital and supervised clinical training, regional simulation hubs, minimum simulator specifications, ongoing curriculum updates, coordinated stakeholder collaboration
