Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Nowadays, the gold standard training method has shifted towards competency-based education were objective assessment tools are necessary. A previous study has developed a scale for assessment of invasive ultrasound procedures, the Interventional Ultrasound Skills Evaluation (IUSE) tool. Although expert consensus supports evidence of content validity of the assessment tool, it is not known if the tool can discriminate differences in performance scores between the different levels of experience.

Novices
Measurement of competence
Ultrasound guided joint injection
The participants will perform two ultrasound guided joint injections on a mannequin. The performance of both procedures are videorecorded. All videos will be rated by two blinded raters using the modified IUSE assessment tool.
