Tele-education in point-of-care ultrasound training.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Traditionally, ultrasound skills have been taught through a one-on-one approach, where instructors physically guide learners' hands at the bedside or in the workshop. However, this method is frequently challenged by scheduling and cost limitations. Our objective was to create a tele-education model for point-of-care ultrasound training and evaluate its effectiveness and its impact on learners' perceived workload compared to conventional education and self-directed learning methods.

Methods

We conducted a 3-arm randomized trial, comparing tele-education (TE), conventional education (CE) and self-directed learning (SL) methods. All subjects underwent online didactic lectures prior to a hands-on ultrasound workshop. The TE group utilized an ultrasound machine equippe
