This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new training program designed to teach advanced practice providers (nurse practitioners and physician assistants) working in emergency departments how to use portable ultrasound machines to quickly diagnose heart problems. The goal is to create a standardized, easy-to-learn training pathway that helps emergency staff become skilled at this important diagnostic skill. If successful, this training could help patients with heart emergencies get diagnosed and treated faster.
Emergency departments often need advanced practice providers to help care for patients with heart problems, especially in rural and community hospitals. Right now, there is no standard way to train these providers to use portable ultrasound for heart emergencies. This study aims to fill that gap by developing a training program that works well and is easy for busy emergency departments to use.

You would participate in a training program designed to teach you how to use portable ultrasound to evaluate heart problems in emergency patients. The study will test whether you can learn and perform these ultrasound techniques through simulation-based training and just-in-time learning (quick training right when you need it). Researchers will assess your knowledge and skills before and after the training to see how well the program works.
