Description

The workshop comprised "three sequential phases: a brief introductory lecture, ultrasound practice, and hands-on biopsy simulation", delivered in small groups of four to five students over approximately 50 minutes per group. A ~5-minute lecture covered indications, complications, ultrasound principles, sterile technique, and needle handling; students then scanned each other (~5 minutes per student) and practiced simulated biopsy (~5 minutes each), supervised by a single board-certified nephrologist.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Small groups of four to five students to allow close supervision and active participation
  • Supervision by an experienced nephrologist instructor

Constraints

  • Total training time was limited; the authors state it did not provide sufficient repetition or mastery-based progression

Target Learners

  • fifth-year medical students on nephrology clerkship

Learning Goals

  • renal biopsy procedure knowledge
  • ultrasound probe handling
  • biopsy needle handling confidence
