Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
AI Machine	Experimental AI Echo 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.
Conventional Machine	Conventional Echo 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.

Primary Outcome Measures
