Video-based, student tutor- versus faculty staff-led ultrasound course for medical students - a prospective randomized study.

Background: Ultrasound education is propagated already during medical school due to its diagnostic importance. Courses are usually supervised by experienced faculty staff (FS) with patient bedside examinations or students among each other but often overbooked due to limited FS availability. To overcome this barrier, use of teaching videos may be advantageous.
