About this study

38 students enrolled in a course for ultrasound-guided nerve blocks will be participants in a study to evaluate the benefit of learning with ultrasound guidance. The EDU, a computer assisted guide for ultrasound interventions will be used for half the students for each of 5 nerve blocks/interventional procedures. Then the students will switch (crossover study) and perform the same interventions. Data will be recorded by dint of the tiny video cameras on the EDU and anonymized and evaluated.
