Trainers were devoting a full week of their time to conduct the classroom-based portion of the course for 2 to 3 participants at a time. This self-paced approach to NSV inservice training has been used at 3 training sites over the past year, and approximately 20 physicians have achieved competency. Feedback from both trainers and participants has been positive.
Trainers are better able to manage their training and clinical responsibilities.
And, participants feel more responsible for their learning. To date, however, no formal evaluation of the self-paced NSV training has been conducted. Training materials consist of a reference manual, a trainer's notebook, participant handbook, and 2 videos. All rights reserved.
