What the study is about

The aim of this study is to assess emergency medicine physician and advanced practice provider (APP) knowledge and technical skill in performance of a point-of-care ultrasound simulation and just-in-time training pathway to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of the ultrasound training program. By performing this study, we hope to create a standardized training model which could potentially facilitate point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) clinical performance and thereby improve patient care.

Being studied: Cardiac point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) training and clinical pathway

Conditions: Cardiovascular Disease Acute; Emergency Department Patient; Heart Failure Acute; Pulmonary Embolism (Diagnosis); Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS); Cardiac Tamponade; Pericardial Effusion; Diagnostic Imaging; Medical Training; Implementation Science
