Effects of Cadaveric Training on Clinical Confidence in Upper Extremity Ultrasound-Guided Procedures
Sponsor: Istanbul Physical Medicine Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital
Summary
This prospective observational study evaluates the effects of a structured cadaveric workshop on physicians' self-reported confidence in performing upper extremity ultrasound-guided procedures. The workshop consisted of theoretical instruction and supervised hands-on cadaveric practice focusing on shoulder, elbow, and wrist procedures. Confidence levels were assessed before and after the workshop using standardized questionnaires. The study also examined the influence of prior ultrasound experience, procedural volume, and academic seniority on baseline confidence and post-workshop improvement.

Interventions
Cadaveric Musculoskeletal Ultrasonography Workshop
Participants attended a structured one-day cadaveric musculoskeletal ultrasonography workshop consisting of theoretical lectures and supervised hands-on practice sessions. The workshop focused on upper extremity ultrasound-guided procedures involving the shoulder, elbow, and wrist. Participants practiced probe positioning, sonoanatomical identification, and needle guidance techniques on cadaveric specimens under direct supervision by experienced instructors.
