Stages 5–7

Instructor & training center pathway

For clinicians who already hold the EASy competency certificate. Teach the next cohort, then grow into program leadership at your institution and across your region.

Teach the next clinician. Build lasting local capability.

Stage 5 · Become an EASy instructor

  • Complete all trainee competence requirements.
  • Attend the instructor course.
  • Mentor at least 3 trainees to completion.
See the instructor course

Stage 6 · Institutional mentor

Establish and lead EASy training at your own institution: mentor and assess local trainees through the EASy competency pathway, run image review, and serve as the on-site faculty lead. Credentialing and privileging remain with the clinician's institution.

Stage 7 · Regional training center director

An experienced EASy educator who leads training beyond their own institution — organizing recurring hands-on courses across a region.

The two examination counts measure different things. The 30 for the EASy competency certificate are expert-verified at adequate quality or better — a standard someone else confirms. The 50 for instructor candidacy are logged examinations: breadth of experience before you teach, not a second verification bar.

Completing the EASy pathway documents training within this program. It does not replace institutional credentialing, privileging, scope-of-practice requirements, or specialty-board certification.
