Using previously established mastery learning standards, this study compares outcomes of training on standard FLS (FLS) equipment with training on an ergonomically different (ED-FLS), but more portable, lower cost platform. Subjects completed a pre-training FLS skills test on the standard platform and were then randomized to train on the FLS training platform (n=20) or the ED-FLS platform (n=19). A post-training FLS skills test was administered to both groups on the standard FLS platform. Group performance on the pretest was similar. Fifty percent of FLS and 32% of ED-FLS subjects completed the entire curriculum. 100% of subjects completing the curriculum achieved passing scores on the post-training test. There was no statistically discernible difference in scores on the final FLS exam (FLS 93.4, ED-FLS 93.3, p=0.98) or training sessions required to complete the curriculum (FLS 7.4, ED-FLS 9.8, p=0.13). These results show that when applying mastery learning theory to an ergonomically different platform, skill transfer occurs at a high level and prepares subjects to pass the standard FLS skills test.
