NCT02289911

Brief Summary

Training paramedics in new skills via classroom-based teaching has inherent costs and time constraints. The investigators sought to evaluate whether web-based didactics result in similar knowledge improvement and retention of FAST (Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma) compared with the traditional method.
