Summary

This study is designed to:

1. Create 4 short PLMs aimed at improving visual estimation of LVEF on TTE images.
2. Design a study to determine if these online PLMs can be used to increase the ability of medical students to estimate LVEF on TTE images and create long term retention of this skill.

The hypothesis of the study is that several short PLM sessions over a period of approximately 1 month will improve the ability of third- and fourth-year novice medical students in echocardiography to visually estimate LVEF using TTE images.
