title: Can Hybrid Learning Theory Be Used to Teach Working Sonographers Breast Elastography?
abstract: Hybrid learning is a combination of on-line learning and face-to-face sessions. This research sought to answer the question of "Can Hybrid Learning be Utilized To Teach Working Sonographers to perform breast Elastography?" We designed a hybrid course entitled "Breast Elastography for Working Sonographers." This course consisted of four on-line training modules, each complete with a post-test and one face-to-face session. After the face-to-face session lectures, participants were interviewed and observed performing elastography on a breast phantom. Our results indicate that this is a successful method for teaching working sonographers breast elastography, in this setting.
