CE Sample Case: Ultrasound

Case Summary:
Point-of-care ultrasound is an essential skill that is integrated into clinical practice. The candidate must be able to explain the ultrasound study to a standardized patient. Based on the clinical scenario that is presented, the candidate will efficiently acquire quality views while an examiner operates the ultrasound machine (i.e., knob adjustment). A successful candidate will be able to describe relevant anatomy and interpret pathologic images.
This video demonstrates:
• Test takers will have 5 minutes to review the task sheet before entering the 10-minute case scenario
• Ultrasound cases will utilize relevant ultrasound equipment
• A typical case format experience for candidates
• The knowledge, skills, and abilities of an average, passing candidate
