Can a simulated stethoscope boost student skills? new study aims to find out

This study looks at whether using a special stethoscope simulator (Ventriloscope) helps physical therapy and athletic training students better identify heart and lung sounds. About 60 students will receive both traditional training and the simulator, then be tested on knowledge, skill, and confidence over five months. The goal is to see if the simulator improves learning and if the skills stick around two months later.
