This report details the general principles underlying the use of simulation in training, the critical aspects of the simulation environment which would aid it as a teaching tool specific to the field of neuroendovascular care, summarizes the available evidence to support a milestone-based curriculum, and outlines an example of what such a curriculum would entail. Building on these foundations, we articulate the rationale for the development and widespread adoption of a simulation curriculum for formal neuroendovascular training.
