The Use and Educational Effect of Ultrasonic Phantoms
ROTHBAND, Paul Dixon

The research article "The Use and Educational Effect of Ultrasonic Phantom in Korean Medicine Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinical Practice Education" focuses on the impact of using ultrasonic phantoms in training Korean Medicine Obstetrics and Gynecology students. The study involved all fourth-grade students at Dong-Shin University's School of Korean Medicine in 2021 and 2022, who underwent training as per the ultrasound examination guidelines, including the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE).

Key takeaways from the study are:

Confidence and Skill Development: The training showed varied levels of confidence in using ultrasound among students by gender and year, though these differences weren't statistically significant.


Moderate Level of Difficulty: Students reported a moderate level of difficulty in using and reading ultrasounds. Interestingly, the difficulty experienced varied significantly among students across different years but not by gender.


Probe Operation and Understanding: The difficulty in operating the ultrasonic probe was considered normal, and no significant differences were noted based on gender or year. Students expressed a very good understanding of ultrasound use, with significant gender differences noted.


Clinical Usefulness: Students felt that the training was very effective for clinical use, although this wasn’t statistically significant. The duration of practice time was deemed moderately appropriate.


Overall Effectiveness: The study concluded that the use of ultrasonic phantom in ultrasound examination training in Korean Medicine Obstetrics and Gynecology was highly effective.


This study provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of practical training tools like ultrasonic phantoms in medical education, particularly in specialized fields such as obstetrics and gynecology​​.

Rothband offers a range of ultrasonic phantoms. These phantoms are useful for educational and training purposes, allowing students and professionals to gain hands-on experience and improve their diagnostic skills in a controlled and safe environment. By integrating these high-quality phantoms into educational programs, institutions can significantly boost the practical training aspect of their curriculum, directly benefiting students in fields like obstetrics and gynecology.
