"An Innovative Ultrasound-guided approach: Stimulating Student Query in Advanced Nursing Health Assessment", Shayne Hauglum, PhD, PI

The Specific Aim of this proposed study is to test the innovative development and integration of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) in an advanced health assessment course in a BSN to DNP Advanced Practice Nurse Anesthesia (NA) program and a BSN to Masters Advanced Practice Nurse Practitioner Program.


This study will be implemented within the School of Nursing and Health Studies at the University of Miami. Research in nursing education is a necessity to ensure the students successfully acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors to become world-class future providers. This study will yield insight into the innovative implementation of ultrasound to enhance nursing curriculum.
