Obstetrics and gynecology residents are deemed to be proficient in transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) upon graduation from an accredited program, although TVUS education in residency is not standardized. The objective of this study is to assess for improvement in transvaginal ultrasound knowledge among residents after viewing an educational DVD.
This is a multi-site prospective parallel randomized controlled trial using an educational DVD from the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine, "Gynecology: Beginners Only"®, compared to routine education. All participants completed a pretest on transvaginal ultrasound images and principles. The intervention group repeated the test after viewing the DVD. During the trial, performing and logging transvaginal ultrasounds were encouraged. All enrolled residents repeated the test at 6-10 months after intervention.
