q3 i? Across 16 included comparative studies, telemedicine teaching of ultrasonography showed results similar to traditional teaching in nine studies, was superior in five, and slightly inferior in two. → Duarte ML 2022

Duarte ML, dos Santos LR, Iared W, Peccin MS. (2022). Comparison of ultrasonography learning between distance teaching and traditional methodology. An educational systematic review. São Paulo Medical Journal. https://doi.org/10.1590/1516-3180.2021.1047.R.19052022

q3 · i? · review · r3

Systematic review synthesis of 16 comparative studies (randomized trials, one pseudorandomized trial, one prospective cohort) assessed with the Kirkpatrick model and Buckley's quality indicators. The review concludes telemedicine teaching methods are "similar to the traditional method" except for venous access procedures.

"From gathering this data together, we can infer that ultra-sound telemedicine teaching methods are similar to the traditional method, except in the case of teaching venous access procedures, for which the studies did not show agreement."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Mobile and e-learning approaches showed better patient positioning and transducer handling than traditional teaching, particularly among physiotherapy students — related
• Student satisfaction with telemedicine ultrasound teaching is similar to traditional teaching, and distance formats are widely accepted by students — related
• For ultrasound-guided venous access procedures, comparative studies show no agreement on whether distance or traditional teaching is more effective — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• The review reports that an AI-plus-faculty-guidance approach outperformed both AI-only and traditional teaching in ultrasonography training — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
