Summary

This trial will assess the effectiveness of a virtual education program to help primary care providers better manage patients with AF.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for primary care providers (Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants) who are based in North Carolina and manage adult patients with atrial fibrillation. There are no specific exclusion criteria mentioned, so it appears open to all eligible healthcare professionals within the state.
What is being tested?
The study tests a virtual education program called 'AF and EKG Interpretation Project ECHO' designed to improve knowledge and confidence among primary care providers managing atrial fibrillation. It involves 12 hours of Zoom sessions over twelve weeks and assessments before and after the program.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on an educational program rather than a medical intervention, there are no direct side effects associated with medications or treatments. However, participants may experience fatigue or eye strain from screen time.
