NCT02890914

Brief Summary

Obstetrics and gynecology residents are deemed to be proficient in transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) upon graduation from an accredited program, although TVUS education in residency is not standardized. The objective of this study is to assess for improvement in transvaginal ultrasound knowledge among residents after viewing an educational DVD.
