ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is focused on improving the training of emergency medicine doctors in using point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), a quick imaging tool that helps diagnose medical conditions at the bedside. The study involves a hands-on workshop where participants will practice using ultrasound through realistic simulation cases. Researchers will assess how much the doctors learn before and after the workshop by comparing their knowledge and skills. This training aims to enhance their ability to provide better care to patients in emergency situations.
To be eligible for this study, participants must be emergency medicine physicians, but nurses, technicians, and advanced practice providers are not included. Those who join the trial can expect to engage in practical training sessions, gain valuable skills in using ultrasound, and receive feedback on their performance. This program is designed not only to improve the skills of individual doctors but also to create a standardized training approach that can be used in medical programs worldwide.
