General practitioners' scanning competence following tailored ultrasound training: a hybrid effectiveness-implementation study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As an imaging modality, ultrasound relies on user skill and demands the integration of anatomical understanding, image acquisition techniques, and clinical knowledge. Proficiency in performing Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) examinations is a gradual process necessitating ongoing practice and exposure. Office-based general practitioners (GPs) encounter distinctive educational challenges when striving to acquire and sustain scanning competences. Therefore, traditional short workshops and training programs are not well suited for GPs. This hybrid effectiveness-implementation study aimed to explore whether a novel educational program, specifically tailored to meet the learning needs of office-based GPs, could lead to scanning competence by the program's conclusion and if t
