About this trial
The aim of this study is to co-design a cardiac POCUS simulation training intervention and implementation strategy for EM clinicians and evaluate the effectiveness of the cardiac point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) simulation-based training (CPST) and CPG implementation. By performing this study, the investigators hope to improve diagnostic processes and time-to-diuretic dosing for acute heart failure (AHF) patients.
