Since the eye is an superficial organ, it has excellent access to ultrasound. Also, the eye has a liquid-filled structure (vitreous body), it is suitable for obtaining some important findings with bedside ultrasound. In patients who visit an emergency room with ocular symptoms, point-of-care ultrasound can quickly identify several emergency diseases. While training of eye ultrasound skills is useful for emergency physicians, hands-on education is risky in pandemic situation such as COVID19. As a solution to this, non-face-to-face education via online has been on the rise. The investigators hypothesized that even an online education is enough to perform basic eye ultrasound by emergency physician.
