Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee​.

Reflection on the activity at one or more time points after the event including learning from the activity and/or areas of the trainees practice for development.

An action plan to implement learning and/or to address skills or knowledge gaps identified.

Considerations

  • Ultrasound artefacts that may hinder and aid clinical diagnosis
  • Limitations of imaging vs system fault artefacts

Relevant learning outcomes
