Utilizing 3-Dimensional Cardiac Models With Point-of-Care Ultrasound Video Tutorials to Improve Medical Student Education: A Double-Blinded Randomized Control Study.

ABSTRACT: Introduction Ultrasound is a rapidly expanding imaging modality that many medical schools are incorporating into a structured curriculum. Learning both anatomy and ultrasound imaging simultaneously is intuitively challenging. This double-blinded, randomized control study examined the effect of utilizing three-dimensional (3d) cardiac models within an ultrasound video tutorial in order to achieve improved cardiac ultrasound anatomy education. Methods Thirty-nine (39) first- and second-year medical students at a single medical school voluntarily participated. The control group watched a video tutorial on cardiac ultrasound anatomy while the experimental group watched a similar video tutorial that also included a 3d cardiac model. The effect was measured with a multiple-choice test that inclu
