Ultrasound Simulation vs. Traditional Training for GPs
This trial compares two ways of learning ultrasound: using a simulator versus traditional training. If you are a general practitioner who has not had basic point-of-care ultrasound training and has access to an ultrasound device, you may be eligible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a general practitioner (a family doctor) who has finished medical training.
- You have access to an ultrasound machine during the study.
- You have not taken a basic point-of-care ultrasound course for general practitioners before.
- You do not have any conflicts of interest that could affect the trial.
- You are willing to sign a consent form to participate.

This study tests whether using a small ultrasound machine at the bedside (point-of-care ultrasound) can help doctors better diagnose the cause of abdominal pain in the emergency department. If you join, the ultrasound results may help guide your care and could lead to faster treatment.
This trial tests a hands-on ultrasound training workshop for emergency medicine physicians. It aims to improve their skills using simulation cases.
This study tests whether an online ultrasound course helps new doctors in emergency medicine learn better. It compares learning outcomes for those who took the online course.
This trial tests an online app that helps doctors in training learn ultrasound skills. It may make it easier for them to get certified in ultrasound, which is required for their specialty in Switzerland.
This study tests a head-mounted device that guides doctors remotely while they learn or practice a focused ultrasound exam called eFAST, which is used in emergencies. It aims to see if this technology helps training doctors perform the exam correctly, which could lead to better training methods.
