- Medical students learned to use ultrasound to check for gallbladder problems by practicing on healthy volunteers instead of sick ones.
- After training, both groups of students were tested, and the ones who practiced on healthy volunteers did almost as well as those who practiced on sick ones.
- The study suggests that teaching with healthy volunteers might be a good way to train students in ultrasound without needing sick patients.
