Research Abstract	For newcomers learning ultrasound technology, an anatomical understanding of each organ being imaged is most important. Therefore, we devised, developed, and examined the educational effectiveness of a new heart model and dissection procedure for learning about echocardiography. The heart model and dissection practice were each useful in enhancing educational effectiveness and improving awareness regarding echocardiography.
