Summary

Purpose:

This study is designed to:

1. Implement a website hosting perceptual learning modules (PLMs)
2. Implement and assess a PLM designed to improve the capacity of fourth-year medical students and first-year residents (novices) to locate the brachial plexus (BP) at the level of the interscalene groove on surface ultrasound images.

Hypothesis: The hypothesis of the study is that the PLM will improve the ability of novices to correctly locate the BP at the level of the interscalene groove on surface ultrasound images, compared to a control group.

Pre, post, delayed test Participants will perform a pretest, a posttest and a delayed test at 6 months.

OTHER

PLM

PLM Participants will take the PLM on the location of the brachial plexus at the level of the interscalene groove on surface ultrasound images. They will also take a pretest, a post-test and a delayed test at 6 months. Pre, post, delayed test Participants will perform a pretest, a posttest and a delayed test at 6 months.
