The ESAIC could also take a stand and establish standards and recommendations in the field, such as provision of a detailed curriculum for high-fidelity simulation. Finally, as highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a need to adapt and find alternative training solutions such as telesimulation activities 7 : here again the ESAIC could act as a facilitator.In conclusion, the status of SBET during residency across Europe is highly heterogeneous. Our findings suggest areas for improvement for which the ESAIC could play an essential role.
