“…The Brazilian Society of Interventional Radiology and Endovascular Surgery (SOBRICE) has fostered numerous multidisciplinary discussion forums and training programs to consolidate and recognize IR as a specialty. 17 By working with regulatory bodies to approve new technologies and devices, SOBRICE has been able to promote the dissemination of IR across the 8,516,000 km 2 of Brazilian territory. 17 Despite progress seen in Brazil, the current state of IR in Latin America face several challenges, including a lack of IR specialists and training programs.…”

For example, in Colombia, as of 2018, there was only one IR-focused training program, while Brazil had 16 IR training programs.…”

Clinical research is an essential aspect of advancing medical knowledge, improving patient outcomes, and reducing the burden of diseases. However, there are significant discrepancies in access to high-quality research worldwide, particularly in Latin American countries. Despite being crucial for evidence of efficacy in clinical research, randomized controlled trials are relatively scarce in Latin America compared with developed countries like the United States. This article explores the challenges and limitations that Latin American researchers face when conducting health-related clinical trials, including lack of economic resources, political instability, language barriers, and scarcity of indexed journals. Moreover, this article sheds light on the challenges in the fields of diagnostic radiology and interventional radiology in Latin America, such as limited resources, inadequate infrastructure, low awareness of the importance of imaging for accurate diagnoses and treatment, lack of specialized training programs, few opportunities for research, and insufficient funding. Addressing these challenges is crucial for Latin American researchers to produce high-quality clinical research and contribute to global medical knowledge, ultimately improving health outcomes and quality of life for people worldwide.

“…The Brazilian Society of Interventional Radiology and Endovascular Surgery (SOBRICE) and the Brazilian Society of Angiology and Vascular Surgery (SBACV) have explored these tools, in particular, endovascular simulators, both in the curriculum and for proving technical proficiency in their respective board certifications. 13 In Brazil, this societal use of simulation in addition to simulation incorporation in clinical hospital practice represents a substantial advancement. 13 Throughout Europe and parts of Asia, there is exposure during dedicated conferences; multiple major centers have dedicated units; and in Ireland, for example, IR training including vascular simulator-based training comprises a core component of the education program.…”

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.
