Short-term simulation training course improves basic obstetric ultrasound operational skills of residents: A multi-center study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate effectiveness of a short-term simulation-based obstetric ultrasound training course.

Methods

21 inexperienced trainees and 44 experienced trainees participated in a short-term course about obstetric ultrasound operational skills, which was designed into four task modules. Participants deliberately practiced on simulators for one hour at each module. Their pre-training and post-training operational skill levels were assessed using Obstetric ultrasound competency assessment tool. Likert scale was used to learn about trainees' confidence before and after training, and their satisfaction with the simulated training course.

Results

Scores of inexperienced and experienced trainees after training were significantly higher than those before training (in
