What is the reliability and validity of the newly established POCUS assessment modules for EMT-Ps? Researchers will compare trained EMT-Ps' ultrasound proficiency and clinical decision-making before and after training to see if structured POCUS education enhances diagnostic accuracy and patient care in prehospital settings.\n\nParticipants will:\n\nAttend a structured POCUS training program, including lectures and hands-on practice with standardized patients and simulation models.\n\nUndergo competency assessments, including written exams, objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs), and image interpretation tests.\n\nPerform ultrasound scans on actual patients in prehospital settings, focusing on trauma, respiratory distress, stroke, and cardiac arrest cases.\n\nReceive feedback and participate in follow-up assessments to evaluate knowledge retention and clinical application.",[46,47],"Prehospital Emergency Medical Services","Point-of-care Ultrasound",[49,50,51],"Prehospital ultrasound","emergency medical technicians","Education","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-04-24",{"date":55,"type":56},"2025-04-30","ACTUAL",{"date":58,"type":40},"2025-08-01",{"date":60,"type":40},"2028-12-31",{"name":5,"class":6}]
