Evaluating the use of BodyWorks Eve® high-fidelity ultrasound simulation equipment in formative clinical assessments.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Increasing demand for ultrasound services is reducing learners' access to medical ultrasound clinical experience. High-fidelity simulation equipment, such as the BodyWorks Eve®, enhances the learners' experience and scanning ability. This has the potential to improve patient safety as the learners' ability to detect, identify and accurately report a known pathology can be assessed, which is not possible in clinical practice.

Methods

Participants performed one pathological ultrasound examination on the BodyWorks Eve® and the participants' performance level was assessed by the primary investigator using a formative clinical assessment form already used by the Diagnostic Imaging programme at the University of Leeds. The outcome was analysed using narrative statisti
