Why is it important?
Many ultrasound departments struggle to participate in student training because of the negative impact it can have on patient bookings. This research challenges a long-standing understanding in the field of how sonography students learn and introduces a technique that integrates the student in clinics with bookings every 20-30 minutes.
Perspectives
I believe this research is important because we developed this evidence-informed approach with the student as co-researcher. We often try to solve teaching and learning problems without student involvement and this research illustrates how students can be included as equal partners.
