MARTINEZ, Óscar et al. Simulation based obstetric ultrasonography combined with echoguided (ultrasound) techniques training: Pilot program. FEM (Ed. impresa) [online]. 2016, vol.19, n.5, pp.259-264. ISSN 2014-9840.

Introduction. Simulation is an useful tool widely used among obstetrician and gynaecologist, as it allows training in complex situations increasing patient's safety. We are introducing a brand-new simulation program based on obstetric ultrasound. Subjects and methods. It is designed half face-to-face for 12 gynecology and obstetrics residents. The non presence part of the course was online, with access to several documents at a website. The on-site modality consisted of 3 workshops that lasted 4 hours in total: the 20th week ultrasound workshop implementing virtual reality, the invasive techniques course using mannequin simulation, and the development of bad news communicative skills with standardized patients workshop. All participants were required to fill an anonymous satisfaction survey (scale 1 to 10) at the end of the programme. Results. The learning experience was very satisfactory and the learners gave their inputs in the feedback survey. The final score was 9.1 over 10. Conclusion. In this paper we show that the use of simulation to learn obstetrical ultrasound was rewarding for the residents.
