Development and Evaluation of a Longitudinal Integrated Ultrasound Curriculum for Third Year Medical Students

Abstract

An overview of the development and implementation of a novel, longitudinal point-of-care ultrasound curriculum implemented for third-year, allopathic medical students at a branch campus is presented. A model employing didactic and hand-on ultrasound education was incorporated into the newly established longitudinal MS-3 curriculum. The ultrasound curriculum was developed in conjunction with student didactics and simulation sessions in a theme-based approach.
