MAP-ETT Trial Summary

This trial will test whether online PLMs can help medical students learn and retain the skill of estimating LVEF from TTE images.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for third or fourth-year medical students who have not had formal echocardiography training. Participants must have access to a computer with high-speed internet, as smartphones or tablets are unsuitable due to image size.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if online Perceptual Learning Modules (PLMs) can help medical students better estimate Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) from heart ultrasound images. It explores whether spaced learning through PLMs over about a month enhances this skill and its long-term retention.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since the intervention involves educational modules rather than medical treatments, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participating in this trial.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.

Primary outcome measures

Impact of the spaced online 4 short PLMs on the ability to correctly visually estimate LVEF during a remote post-test (1 month).

Secondary outcome measures

Impact of the online perceptual modules on the ability to correctly estimate LVEF during an immediate post-test (module validation).

The fluency (time to answer) of each participant as they progress through the study protocol.

The progression (improvement of performance) of the participants' ability to correctly assess LVEF throughout the completion of the 4 modules.
