Alencar, Jennifer Leme; Prado, Marcela Roberta; Ercolin, Anna Carolina Mazeto; Pires, Sâmara Turbay; Disselli, Tamiris; Stanquini, Camila Silveira; de Andrade, Amanda Moura Rocha; Hage, Maria Cristina Ferrarini Nunes Soares – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
Fine needle puncture (FNP) is a widespread technique used to collect cellular samples. Its efficiency can be enhanced by the use of ultrasonography to guide the procedure. Ultrasound-guided FNP is therefore an operator-dependent exam. For this reason, it demands the acquisition of psychomotor skill, ability to recognize structures, and dexterity…

Lombardi, Sara A.; Hicks, Reimi E.; Thompson, Katerina V.; Marbach-Ad, Gili – Advances in Physiology Education, 2014
This study investigated the impact of three commonly used cardiovascular model-assisted activities on student learning and student attitudes and perspectives about science. College students enrolled in a Human Anatomy and Physiology course were randomly assigned to one of three experimental groups (organ dissections, virtual dissections, or…
