New simulation training could help junior doctors master ultrasound without risk to patients
NCT ID NCT04792203
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests a simulation-based curriculum to help junior doctors learn ultrasound-guided procedures like thoracocentesis and abdominal tapping. Instead of practicing on real patients, doctors use simulations to build skills safely. The goal is to see if this training improves their ability to perform these procedures effectively.
