Preparing for obstetric anaesthesia-An educational randomised controlled trial comparing e-learning to written course material.

Background: E-learning is increasingly used in postgraduate medical education. Its numerous benefits include an enhanced learning experience through learning style individualisation, interactive elements, and assessment through tests and quizzes. Current meta-analyses conclude that the overall effectiveness of e-learning is comparable to traditional teaching modalities.

Developing an emergency ultrasound app - a collaborative project between clinicians from different universities.

Focused emergency ultrasound is rapidly evolving as a clinical skill for bedside examination by physicians at all levels of education. Ultrasound is highly operator-dependent and relevant training is essential to ensure appropriate use. When supplementing hands-on focused ultrasound courses, e-learning can increase the learning effect.

[Medical students gain from a practical course in clinical ultrasound].

Ultrasound scanning (US) is a new universal medical tool that may be compared to the stethoscope. Both are highly operator-dependent examinations used for screening, and both should be followed by more conclusive examinations. Clinical ultrasound can be seen as an extension of the clinical examination.
