Popis: the virtual model. Performance was evaluated using a global rating scale, blinded video assessment of error metrics, and catheter tip movement and position. Motion analysis was based on derivations of speed and position that define proficiency of movement (spectral arc length, duration of submovement, and number of submovements). Results: Performance was significantly different between novices and intermediate and experienced interventionalists for all three performance measures: motion metrics (Fig), error metrics, and global rating scale. The mean error metric score was 6.83 for noncompetent individuals and 2.51 for the more experienced group (P < .0001). Median global rating scores were 2.25 for the noncompetent group and 4.75 for the competent users (P < .0001). Conclusions: The FEVS model successfully differentiates competent and noncompetent performance of fundamental endovascular skills based on a series of objective performance measures. This model could serve as a platform for skills testing for all trainees.
