Interventions

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

Brief Summary

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.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * advanced practice providers (APPs) currently working in our ED, with additional APPs as they are hired (expected to be about 75 APPs total within the next 3 years due to expanding staffing needs and coverage models). Exclusion Criteria: * non-APPs such as physicians, nurses, or other clinical staff
