Objective: Our study aimed to test whether a one-hour short training model for Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma (FAST) training would increase the visual skills of paramedics who had no previous training in this field. 
 Material and Method: Our study was planned as a prospective, uncontrolled experimental study. A short training module was applied to 27 paramedics who were inexperienced in E-FAST Ultrasonography (USG). The first test was applied and the final test was applied after the training and their success in distinguishing normal and pathological case images was evaluated. 
 Results: 55.6% of the participants were women, 74.1% were new graduates, and their average age was 21.58 ± 9.60 years. When the answers given by the participants to the first test and the last test were evaluated; While 31.9% of the participants answered "I did not understand" to many questions in the first test, after the training, it was seen that 82.9% could form ideas for all tests. When the correct response rates of the participants to the first test and the last test were examined, a statistically significant increase was observed (p
