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.
