Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to assess emergency medicine physician knowledge and technical skill in performance of ultrasound-guided serratus anterior nerve block in a low-fidelity simulation model workshop and to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of the training program. By performing this study, the investigators hope to create a standardized training model which could potentially facilitate POCUS and critical procedural performance and thereby improve patient care.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Physician knowledge assessment | 4 months | The investigators will assess ultrasound-guided serratus anterior nerve block in a simulation model using surveys at 1 month pre-intervention, post-intervention, and 3 months post-intervention (Likert scale 0-5 with values of Strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree) |
| Physician technical skills assessment | 4 months | The investigators will assess ultrasound-guided serratus anterior nerve block in a simulation model using surveys at 1 month pre-intervention, post-intervention, and 3 months post-intervention (Likert scale 0-5 with values of Strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| acceptability of our implementation strategy | 4 months | The investigators will evaluate EM physician education and simulation workshop implementation strategy acceptability using a post-intervention survey (Likert scale 0-5 with values of Strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree). |
| appropriateness of our implementation strategy | 4 months | The investigators will evaluate EM physician education and simulation workshop implementation strategy appropriateness using a post-intervention survey (Likert scale 0-5 with values of Strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree). |
| feasibility of our implementation strategy | 4 months | The investigators will evaluate EM physician education and simulation workshop implementation strategy feasibility using a post-intervention survey (Likert scale 0-5 with values of Strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree). |
