Dimensionless squared jerk: An objective differential to assess experienced and novice probe movement in obstetric ultrasound.

Objective: Widely accepted, validated and objective measures of ultrasound competency have not been established for clinical practice. Outcomes of training curricula are often based on arbitrary thresholds, such as the number of clinical cases completed. We aimed to define metrics against which competency could be measured.

A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of the Use of High-Fidelity Simulation in Obstetric Ultrasound.

There is little global consensus on how to train, assess, and evaluate skills in obstetric ultrasound. The outcomes of curricula, where present, are often based on the number of clinical cases completed, rather than objective outcomes. The central question in this review is whether simulation enhances training and prepares trainees for clinical practice.
