    Physician Training and Proctoring

    Structured education and supervised cases for physicians adopting a new device.

    Reviewed by Christian Espinosa, Founder, Blue Goat CyberLast reviewed May 5, 2026

    Definition

    Training and proctoring programs prepare physicians to safely use a new device through didactic content, simulation, cadaver labs, and supervised first cases by experienced proctors. Often required by the device label or facility credentialing.

    What this means in practice

    Adoption velocity correlates with training capacity. Proctor agreements must comply with AdvaMed Code and AKS - fair-market-value compensation, documented services, no inducement.
