45 minute blocks. 4 people max to a group. 3-4 groups.
Dr. Brost has identified someone outside the department who will work on scripting and materials so that we can be learners/participants and not skew results.
A questionairre will be administered.
questions may include: previous learning in U/S; intent to do OB; Age; Gender; Comfort level (1-5 scale) on AFI, CRL, presentation, etc.; frequency of U/S use, total cummalative OB U/S experience, etc.
Graded exercises, a variety of them.
This will be a Pre-test assessment with a debriefing.
Attendance needs to be high.
***We need to talk to Flinch, Gill, etc.
MFM fellows will supervise.
Pre Test
Thermofill pictures
Deidentified participants (for comparison to post test and other assessments)
Post Test
Will be done after they've completed 3? sessions?
Gold Standard
The OB techs will use the models. Their results will be the "Gold Standard" to which study participants will be benchmarked.
Can mix Pre and Post Test thermofills and have expert panel "read" them/independent review (construct validity).
Validity
Can images from an ultrasound machine be used to differentiate a novice from a competent sonographer from an expert? What other items can help in this differentiation.
Poster & IRB proposal
These should now be set.
Review of literature:
May consider using OB curriculum for U/S as a reference (esp if we're expected to be as competent).
