A randomized controlled trial of curated X exposure for cardiac point of care ultrasound education
Natural X exposure to educational POCUS accounts did not result in statistically improved image interpretation scores, but this outcome was likely affected by limited sample size, different participant experiences, and other variables. Data from this novel trial design can better inform future studies on medical education with social media.
