Cardiac point-of Care Ultrasound Training Pathway for Emergency Department Advanced Practice Providers (NCT07159269)
Cardiac Point-of-care Ultrasound Clinical Training Pathway Implementation and Impact Assessment for Advanced Practice Providers in the Emergency Department
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The aim of this study is to assess emergency medicine physician and advanced practice provider (APP) knowledge and technical skill in performance of a point-of-care ultrasound simulation and just-in-time training pathway to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of the ultrasound training program. By performing this study, we hope to create a standardized training model which could potentially facilitate point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) clinical performance and thereby improve patient care.
