BEHAVIORAL

Cardiac point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) training and clinical pathway

Participants will complete a cardiac POCUS simulation session and a hands-on observed structured clinical skill exam (OSCE) post-training led by ultrasound-trained faculty. Then as part of standard clinical care, advanced practice providers (APPs) will perform POCUS while supervised by emergency medicine (EM) attending physicians. To assess program feasibility and acceptability, participants will complete a pre/post and 6-month post-survey and semi-structured interview, as well as a knowledge and technical skills assessment.
