Formative Assessment of Performance in Diagnostic Ultrasound Using Simulation and Quantitative and Objective Metrics.

CONCLUSIONS: Skill in acquiring diagnostic ultrasound images of organs and vessels can be measured using simulation in an objective, quantitative, and standardized manner. Current applications are provision of feedback to learners to enable training without direct faculty oversight and formative assessment of curricula. Simulator-based metrics could also be applied for summative assessment. PMID: 30901403 [PubMed - in process]
