Talan and colleagues’ educational intervention followed a mastery training model and included a short prereading assignment and instructional video, followed by serial 20-minute 1:1 bedside teaching sessions with ACCE faculty (9). During these sessions, fellows scanned live patients with direct supervision, both via physical probe manipulation and verbal feedback. The amount of coaching decreased over time as independence was achieved, with the ultimate number of required sessions depending on fellow progress and averaging 4.5 sessions (or 90 min of instruction) per fellow. Competency to a minimum standard was ensured by demonstrating that fellow measurements were within 20% of simultaneously performed exams by ACCE faculty. Notably, only 7 out of 11 fellows achieved adequate competency and were allowed to participate in the comparison with formal echocardiography-derived measurements. This was primarily due to the fellows running out of time during their ICU rotation, and presumably, with further instruction, they too would have eventually qualified.
