The aim of this study is to assess emergency medicine physician knowledge and technical skill in performance of ultrasound-guided serratus anterior nerve block in a low-fidelity simulation model workshop and to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of the training program. By performing this study, the investigators hope to create a standardized training model which could potentially facilitate POCUS and critical procedural performance and thereby improve patient care.

Physician knowledge assessment
The investigators will assess ultrasound-guided serratus anterior nerve block in a simulation model using surveys at 1 month pre-intervention, post-intervention, and 3 months post-intervention (Likert scale 0-5 with values of Strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree)
Time frame: 4 months
Physician technical skills assessment
The investigators will assess ultrasound-guided serratus anterior nerve block in a simulation model using surveys at 1 month pre-intervention, post-intervention, and 3 months post-intervention (Likert scale 0-5 with values of Strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree).
Time frame: 4 months
acceptability of our implementation strategy
The investigators will evaluate EM physician education and simulation workshop implementation strategy acceptability using a post-intervention survey (Likert scale 0-5 with values of Strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree).
Time frame: 4 months
appropriateness of our implementation strategy
The investigators will evaluate EM physician education and simulation workshop implementation strategy appropriateness using a post-intervention survey (Likert scale 0-5 with values of Strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree).
Time frame: 4 months
feasibility of our implementation strategy
The investigators will evaluate EM physician education and simulation workshop implementation strategy feasibility using a post-intervention survey (Likert scale 0-5 with values of Strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree).
Time frame: 4 months
