1. A method of evaluating a testing injection, the method comprising:
providing an injection apparatus configured to simulate an anatomical shape;
receiving instructions to simulate a preset patient condition or treatment;
performing the testing injection on the injection apparatus using a testing tool, the testing injection simulating injecting a medical product for the preset patient condition or treatment, the testing tool comprising a needle tip;
determining injection information associated with the testing injection using a three-dimensional tracking sensor, the injection information comprising a first three-dimensional needle tip location and a second three-dimensional needle tip location during the testing injection;
calculating a score of the testing injection based on the injection information for an injector who performed the testing injection;
determining a separate score or ranking of the injector based on multiple testing injections performed by the injector to simulate injecting the medical product for the preset patient condition or treatment; and
outputting for display on a display device:
the separate score or ranking of the injector for injecting the medical product for the preset patient condition or treatment.
