Efficacy of a standardized competency training program building capacity of frontline healthcare workers to conduct echocardiographic screening for rheumatic heart disease.
REFNo: HS3141ES

Specific Aim 1 will be to determine the median and interquartile range for the quantity of studies that non-expert providers perform prior to achieving a diagnostic accuracy of 90% and to document the amount of retraining required to reach this threshold across trainees.

Specific Aim 2 will be to identify patient, provider, or training program factors associated with trainees not reaching (<90%) diagnostic accuracy or taking a prolonged period of time to reach competency (as defined as being outside of 2 standard deviations of the mean).

Specific Aim 3 will be to calculate the sensitivity and specificity of screening echocardiograms performed by non-expert providers in detecting RHD after trainees have reached final certification (defined at >90% accuracy for screen positive and screen negative exams)
