Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Musculoskeletal ultrasound( MSUS) is highly operator-dependent and proper training is needed to ensure appropriate use and minimize risk of incorrect image interpretation.To acquire skills in MSUS, it is mandatory to assure training in both the cognitive ability to recognize normal and pathological findings within the images and the psychomotor component of the examination. This study will examine the effect of a novel developed e-learning platform "The Ultrasound LearNing plAtform (ULNA)", on pre- and post-course musculoskeletal ultrasound performance of rheumatology residents. Moreover, to examine the resident's satisfaction with the e-learning platform ULNA.
