Virtual neuromuscular ultrasound courses during COVID-19 pandemic: Leveraging technology to enhance learning opportunities.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction/aims

Hands-on supervised training is essential for learning diagnostic ultrasound. Unfortunately, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic led to suspension of in-person training courses. As a result, many hands-on training courses were converted into virtual courses during the pandemic. Several reports regarding virtual ultrasound courses exist, but none has addressed virtual neuromuscular ultrasound courses, their design, or participants' views of this form of training. Therefore, the aims of this study were: (1) to determine the feasibility of conducting virtual neuromuscular ultrasound courses during the COVID-19 pandemic; and (2) to report the positive and negative aspects of the courses through the analyses of the responses of post-course surveys.
