Standards for endovascular neurosurgical training and certification of the society of korean endovascular neurosurgeons 2013. J Korean Neurosurg Soc 2014; 55:117-24. [PMID: 24851145 PMCID: PMC4024809 DOI: 10.3340/jkns.2014.55.3.117] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2013] [Revised: 12/27/2013] [Accepted: 02/13/2013] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
The need for standard endovascular neurosurgical (ENS) training programs and certification in Korea cannot be overlooked due to the increasing number of ENS specialists and the expanding ENS field. The Society of Korean Endovascular Neurosurgeons (SKEN) Certification Committee has prepared training programs and certification since 2010, and the first certificates were issued in 2013. A task force team (TFT) was organized in August 2010 to develop training programs and certification. TFT members researched programs and systems in other countries to develop a program that best suited Korea. After 2 years, a rough draft of the ENS training and certification regulations were prepared, and the standard training program title was decided. The SKEN Certification Committee made an official announcement about the certification program in March 2013. The final certification regulations comprised three major parts: certified endovascular neurosurgeons (EN), certified ENS institutions, and certified ENS training institutions. Applications have been evaluated and the results were announced in June 2013 as follows: 126 members received EN certification and 55 hospitals became ENS-certified institutions. The SKEN has established standard ENS training programs together with a certification system, and it is expected that they will advance the field of ENS to enhance public health and safety in Korea.

Abstract
The interventional neuroradiology (INR, or neurointerventional surgery) became a rapidly emerging specialty since the first Working group in Interventional Neuroradiology (WIN) meeting was held in Santa Barbara in 1980 by 15 pioneers. Although the specialty has been led by neuroradiologists, other specialists of neurosurgery and neurology have become involved. Due to diverse background of the specialties with inadequate requirement of education and training, proper level of training standard and quality assurance may be achieved for outcomes of treated patients with neurovascular diseases. In East Asia, there are less inter-relationship of education and training among China, Japan and Korea when compared to the learning opportunities in western countries from the three nations. Therefore, we present the current status and difference of medical education system and compare INR training to improve understanding of INR development in the adjacent countries.

Abstract
SUMMARY We introduce our training tools and system of neurovascular intervention. An in vitro cerebral vascular model was used for the young residents to understand the basic interventional techniques and devices. The model included several vascular lesions such as cerebral aneurysm, dural arterio-venous fistula, or carotid artery stenosis. Endovascular procedures in the model were performed under fluoroscopic or direct visual control, and consecutive haemodynamic changes were visualized by using digital subtraction angiography and direct observation. Thus, traineess could have an easy understanding of clinical conditions. New medical devices, such as platinum coils, were successfully implanted in the model under stable conditions. After the initial training using vascular model, the residents had started clinical experiences under the control of senior surgeons. Although it is difficult to describe usefulness of our clinical training, we believe that we provide enough good quality and quantity of clinical cases to the residents. Because our endovascular team has recently had150-200 interventional procedures every year, one resident can have experienced more than 100 cases per year. The qualification of a Board Certified Specialist of the Japanese Society of Intravascular Neurosurgery (JSIN) requires that the applicant must have experienced more than 100 cases for four years. So our residents can have enough case materials to qualify the board examination.

Abstract
SUMMARY It is very important to train more neuroendovascular therapists (NETists) in response to Japan's growing social needs. Since the supply of qualified NETists is still insufficient to cover Japanese institutions, therefore some emergency cases with indications for endovascular therapy may be overlooked, untreated or treated by other methods resulting in unfavorable outcomes. Thus, neuroendovascular therapies are situated as one of the important tratment modalities for neurosurgical diseases (1,2). We studied our present states of the endovascular neurosurgery and introduce our training system.
