Using tele-ultrasound to teach medical students: A randomised control equivalence study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Undergraduate ultrasound education is becoming increasingly important, but its expansion is limited by time, space and the availability of trained faculty. In order to validate an alternative and more accessible teaching model, our aim was to assess whether combining teleguidance and peer-assisted learning to teach ultrasound is as effective as traditional in-person methods.

Methods

Peer instructors taught 47 second-year medical students ocular ultrasound via either teleguidance or traditional in-person methods. Proficiency was assessed using a multiple-choice knowledge test and objective structured clinical examination (OSCE). Confidence, overall experience, and experience with a peer instructor were measured using a 5-point Likert scale. Two one-sided t-t
