Resources
This study found that while a 2-day hands-on ultrasound course provides internal medicine physicians with an initial understanding of POCUS, there are barriers in transferring these abilities to clinical practice.
Find out how an interprofessional, near-peer workshop can help internal medicine residents develop POCUS skills, especially in programs where faculty expertise is limited.
Learn what will help residents overcome the barrier of unfamiliarity with documenting ultrasounds for diagnostic decision-making.
Discover how a phased implementation of POCUS curriculums has proven successful and could inform future educational programs.
