(a)-(b) Practical postcourse examinations after completion of all skill trainings (a) Every circle represents the sum of correct ultrasound examinations of specific sites by individual trainees, as assessed by practical postcourse examination (maximum count: ). (b) Each identical symbol represents a distinct learning objective (1: trachea, thyroid, central vessels, and isthmus, 2: chest wall, 3: pleura, lung, 4: diaphragm, solid organs, and 5: detection sequence of PLE or PTX). Data are arranged to visualize the cumulative scores of trainees per tested objective (maximum count: ). Dashed line indicates an arbitrary defined pass level of 60% correct answers.
