      1. Ten web-based learning modules with pre and post tests
      2. Participation in an interprofessional case-based seminar and evaluation

      Request for Feedback

      Although faculty have previously taught this course, the partial delivery via asynchronous online modules is new format. The online content is the result of interprofessional teamwork by faculty and students in the Schools of Medicine and Nursing. We would very much appreciate your feedback about the technical aspects (e.g. software, length and depth of modules), and any additional ultrasound exams or related topics you would like to see addressed in future iterations of the modules or during in-person sessions. Please keep this in mind as you review the modules in order to provide specific and actionable feedback when asked to evaluate aspects of the course in the post-test and following the in-person sessions. 

      Thank you very much,

      Juan Vargas, MD
