Teledidactic peer-tutored musculoskeletal ultrasound training for medical students—the TELMUS study
Authors' conclusion
Peer-tutored, teledidactic MSUS training showed to be non-inferior to the conventional approach
Study context
- Population
- Medical students
- Participants
- 30 students
- Comparison
- Teledidactic peer-tutored musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) training vs on-campus training by physician lecturers
- Primary endpoint
- Learning outcome measured by OSCE score (/63) after the training
- Follow-up
- Post-training
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Post-training OSCE score (/63)
On-campus
56.80
average · SD ± 4.22 · /63
TELMUS
58.53
average · SD ± 3.52 · /63 points
Further findings
Baseline OSCE score (/63) · before the course
Baseline objective structured clinical examinations (OSCE) score (/63) · before the course
- No significant difference between the two cohorts before the course; all students' skills increased over time
