Validated Merits of Ultrasound Simulation-based Education
With ultrasound simulation-based training
-
learners gain real-time scanning experience and can observe pathologies that they might not otherwise have exposure to
-
learners can more easily acquire competency in psychomotor, problem-solving, and creative thinking skills and gain confidence more quickly
-
learners demonstrate actual improvement in familiarity with the equipment (this has been shown to be most notable when performing fetal echocardiography)
As outlined above, the cumulative benefits of high-fidelity simulation-based training for obstetric ultrasound confirm and validate its value as a reliable mode of education.
