use after initial training, for practicing physicians and continuing education, and has been shown to be superior to traditional teaching methods, particularly when used in a simulation environment [1315].
While web-based educational modules combined with simulation create a strong template for continuing education in a blended model, POC US education for prac­ticing physicians requires special attention to the needs of advanced learners. Integration of blended learning with the Deliberate Practice theory creates an excel­lent framework for continuing education of POC US.In fact, improved performance has been found in learners who received simulator training using the elements of Deliberate Practice [17].
An essential element of deliberate practice, and education in general is compe­tency assessment. Physicians must master image acquisition, interpretation, and be able to integrate these into their medical decision-making [18]. There are mul­tiple methods available for POC US competency assessment, from the use of checklists (e.g., Council of Residency Directors peer reviewed standardized direct observational assessment tools [19]), to the use of management software, online quizzes, and direct observation. Methods for competency assessment are listed in Fig.6.2.

Educational Goals

The ideal educational outcome for any continuing education-based activity range is a positive perception of the learning experience on the part of the physician. This changes behavior, and eventually benets patients. Kirkpatrick offers a way to gauge effectiveness of an educational activity on the leaner. See Table6.1 [20].
For reference, a 2007 Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) review found that in terms of the various possible educational modalities for con­tinuing education, print media is less effective than live lectures. Multimedia educa­tional tools are more effective than any single media alone. Interactive modalities are more effective than noninteractive modalities, and multiple exposures over time are more effective than single exposures. Simulation was shown to be effective in improving psychomotor skills [9].

Blended Learning

Based on the ndings of the AHRQ, web-based instruction, simulation, and ele­ments of Deliberate Practice in a blended learning format create an ideal framework for POC US education. Blended learning has been shown to be an effective educa­tional format and lends itself well to POC US [21, 22]. Blended learning integrates multiple educational modalities to maximize knowledge acquisition and skill mas­tery on the part of the learner [18]. Modalities can include in-person lectures, online educational modules or recorded lectures, hands-on scanning with live models or simulators, and simulation time. The importance of integrating simulation and hands-on teaching with faculty present cannot be overemphasized. Particularly for POC US, the psychomotor skill of image acquisition and real-time interpretation are essential. Learners who receive only web-based education do not perform as well with hands-on skills [23, 24]. Additionally, blended learning provides skill retention [25].

Web-Based Instruction

Web-based learning appeals specically to the continuing education audience because it allows for individualized learning, exible scheduling, novel instruc­tional methods, and distance learning. It also insures consistent content, and means of assessment [26]. It is an effective tool for POC US as part of a blended educa­tional experience [27, 28].
Web-based learning may consist of online modules to read, lectures to view, interactive scenarios, social media communication, online discussion groups, mul­tiple choice examinations, and others. Online discussions and novel ideas are espe­cially appealing to engage experienced learners [29]. Figure6.3 lists examples of online education tools. One paper has suggested that the nancial cost of a web­based or blended curriculum may be similar to that of a traditional ultrasound course. Arguably, the number of hours dedicated to preparation is signicantly less for web-based education [27]. Even when used as adjunct educational tools, web­based educational resources have improved outcomes over the traditional method for teaching ultrasound skills [30].
Studies demonstrate that web-based learning for continuing education improves knowledge, attitude, and even skills, albeit to a lesser extent. For POC US specically, web-based education is best utilized in a blended curriculum that includes a hands-on scanning and/or simulation component to assist in motor skill acquisition [3133]. Web-based education, in which participants complete multiple online modules over time, benets learners with repeated exposure [34].
A completely web-based curriculum has limitations: social isolation, de­individualized instruction, lack of timely or in-person feedback. However, there is

evidence to support that when utilized wisely and appropriately, a blended curricu­lum including web-based elements leads to education success [26].
There are several essential steps to ensure an effective learning experience for POC US web-based education as part of a blended curriculum. First and foremost, the educator must assess the learners in order to tailor the content appropriately. Additional tips for creating effective web-based educational tools can be seen in Fig.6.4 [35]. Web-based instruction should contain a minimum of extraneous mate­rial. It should be interactive enough to maintain the attention of the learner, but not so interactive that it is distracting. Ideally, the program would allow the learner to tailor the educational module or curriculum to their preferred style of learning. This is particularly important for POC US education as studies have shown that simula­tion and hands-on education are necessary to improve psychomotor skills. If a schedule and curriculum are utilized, time to work on the web-based content should be allotted. Educators should elucidate the purpose of the web-based instruction is being used, as well as how it will be used for assessment. Finally, educators should solicit feedback from stakeholders and learners to continue to improve the web­based instruction content and effectiveness [35].

Simulation andHands-On Education
Simulation entails the use of low- or high-delity US trainers either in a simulated clinical environment. Live human models can be used. Table6.2 describes charac­teristics of high- and low-delity ultrasound simulators [18]. Simulation allows for

M.E.W. Thiessen and R.E. Lewiss
reproducible clinical scenarios, ease of performance evaluation, and the ability to learn outside of the patient care environment [36, 37]. Simulation has been widely used in graduate medical education [3739], and more recently in continuing educa­tion (See Chap. 11 – Simulation) [20].
Use of simulation and hands-on training for POC US skills has met with great success, usually as a part of a blended educational experience [11, 25, 4044]. With respect to continuing education, simulation has been shown to be positively received by learners, as well as impart a perceived improvement in condence and clinical preparedness. It has also been shown to improve knowledge and long-term retention of skills. Most educators feel that while current evidence supporting the implemen­tation of simulation education in POC US is limited, use of this educational format is necessary as the evidence moves forward [20].
Critics of simulation-based POC US education question if certain skills transfer from the simulated to the patient care environment [45]. Simulation provided with faculty presence has been found to be superior to self-guided simulation [46]. Others worry that learned skills will decay without continued practice [47]. While the literature on simulation for continuing medical educa­tion and POC US is still limited, most educators agree it is an essential element of training [18].
The features of effective simulation education are listed in Fig.6.5 [1315]. Feedback has been found to be the most important element of simulation education. Additional important factors include repetetive practice, the ability to tailor the sim­ulation to the learner in a high-delity, reproducible scenario and active participation. As with any educational activity, clearly stated learning objectives and learner expectations result in better learning [48]. Simulation has the benet of providing the opportunity for practice and competency evaluations. Checklists can be utilized for this element [49]. CORD recommends that competency assessment on POC US technique, image acquisition, and image interpretation be demonstrated by practic­ing clinicians [50].
