Arms & Interventions
AI Machine
All study participants will undergo a full day (roughly 8 hours) training programme consisting of a pre-test MCQ, a didactic lecture, hands-on training session, a post-test MCQ, and a practical evaluation. They will be randomised to using an A.I. ultrasound machine for teaching.
Intervention: Experimental AI Echo Machine (Other)
Conventional Machine
All study participants will undergo a full day (roughly 8 hours) training programme consisting of a pre-test MCQ, a didactic lecture, hands-on training session, a post-test MCQ, and a practical evaluation. They will be randomised to using a conventional ultrasound machine for teaching.
Intervention: Conventional Echo Machine (Other)
Outcomes
