Does an Experiential Learning Model facilitate Learning of Bedside Ultrasound by Preclinical Medical Students?
An experiential learning model of ultrasound training consisting of brief didactic presentation, practice FAST examinations on normal models, and proctored examinations on patients is an effective way to teach preclinical medical students basic ultrasound skills.
Inferences from studies that have reported associations between grain fiber intake and morbidity or mortality may be limited by not differentiating fiber sources.
