Clinical Learning in Translation: Analysis of Pre-Clerkship Ultrasound Training on Student Learning Behaviors During Clerkship.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The addition of ultrasound training to undergraduate medical education (UME) curricula is on the rise. Despite widespread adoption, there is little focus on the learning theories that guide implementation or how student learning is transferred from one training setting to another. Using our school's UME ultrasound curriculum, we studied how changes implemented in the pre-clerkship curriculum (grounded in specific learning theories) influenced student learning and performance during clerkship rotations.

Materials and methods

This was a retrospective study of an existing educational database of student responses and ultrasound submissions obtained during clerkship rotations. Data were collected using Qualtrics, de-identified, and exported to Excel for data analysis.
