Point‐of‐care ultrasound using a pocket‐ultrasound‐device (PUD) is increasing in clinical medicine but the optimal way to teach focused cardiac ultrasound is not clear. We evaluated whether teaching using a PUD or a conventional‐ultrasound‐device (CUD) is different when the final exam was conducted on a PUD. The primary aim was to compare the weighted total quality scale (WTQS, out of 100) obtained by participants in the two groups (CUD and PUD) on a live volunteer 2–4 weeks after their initial training. The secondary aims were to compare examination time and students' confidence levels (out of 50).
