Ultrasound Simulation Case-based Workshop Implementation and Impact Assessment

Using the CAE Vimedix ultrasound simulator or standardized patient, a patient stem will be read or video shown to an individual participant. The participant will have 10 minutes to discuss the scenario and scan the simulator/patient. Participants will verbalize their findings and receive additional information, including diagnostic tests or point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) videos, as they proceed through the case. They will be scored using a standardized rubric. For Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE) testing, two independent raters, both with ultrasound fellowship training, one known to the participants and one unknown to the participants, will observe and rate the participant on a simulated POCUS case using the already published OSCE tool. The rater will read a brief standardized stem, and the participant will have 10 minutes to complete the station.
