“…In the same line, García de Casasola et al observed that teaching programs of approximately 15 hours to students regarding abdomen ultrasonography could achieve success rates of over 90% for abdominal structures identification [7] . Even in one-week courses students could reach comparable rates to the experts' [10] .…”

AIM: to evaluate if the lack of experience in musculoskeletal ultrasonography generates measuring errors based on patellar tendon measurements. Ultrasound is recognized as an outstanding tool in musculoskeletal pathology diagnosis, despite being physiciandependent in knowledge as much as in experience. METHODS: Six donated knees (ages 58-71 years old) were chosen for the present study. Four observers performed the measurements, which were length, thickness and width of the patellar tendon; an expert in musculoskeletal ultrasonography (gold standard), an obstetric sonographer, an orthopedic surgeon and a third-year medical student. An external participant collected all data and analyzed results. RESULTS: regarding length, an 8% mean decrease with respect to the gold standard's mean was observed. With respect to the width, the evaluators showed lower measurements with respect to the gold standard, (less than 5% difference) with no constant systematic error, although a trend of a proportional systematic error was observed (0.59). Third, measurements from observers were an 8% higher than the gold standard's regarding thickness. The evaluator that most approximated measurements to the gold standard performed was the obstetric sonographer. CONCLUSION: The present paper represents an approach to learning systems in musculoskeletal ultrasound and counseling courses to focus on ultrasound technique knowledge rather than anatomical domains.

“…[45] We therefore chose to focus on splenic microabscesses, as they are relatively easy for a clinician with limited ultrasound experience to identify. [46,47] Given that POCUS is cheap and portable, and provides data rapidly to the treating clinician, ultrasound evaluation of the spleen in patients with HIV and symptoms suggestive of TB is a beneficial addition to diagnostic and treatment algorithms in resource-limited settings.…”

“…Given increasing recognition of the value and availability of US, US training for undergraduate medical students is progressively being implemented in medical schools. Furthermore, several studies have shown US training can improve the performance and reliability of physical examinations and facilitate understanding of anatomy [ 2 ]. In addition, recently developed portable, pocket-sized US devices have obvious benefits for the education of medical students because of their portability and ease of use.…”

PurposeMedical students must understand the principles of ultrasonography (US), because US examinations are an important component of patient care in clinical practice. Pocket-sized ultrasound devices have the benefits of accessibility and ease of use. The primary objective of the present study was to evaluate the educational value of these devices in terms of improving medical student interest and understanding of US and sonographic anatomy.MethodsWe added a US training program comprised of a self-study learning module and a hands-on training session to a two-week block curriculum of medical imaging for first year medical students (n = 40). Multiple pocket-sized US devices were used on a small-group basis during a single afternoon. Students were asked to complete a questionnaire before and after the US training session; these two questionnaires contained 6 and 10 questions, respectively, which were rated by students using a five-point Likert scale. In addition, understanding of sonographic anatomy was tested before and after the training program.ResultsForty students completed the two questionnaires and the anatomy-related tests. Students found the program educationally valuable (4.37 ± 0.54 of 5) and reported that US practice was useful for improving their understanding of the principles of US examinations (4.23 ± 0.66 of 5) and sonographic anatomy (4.40 ± 0.55 of 5). Overall confidence at performing US examinations and understanding of sonographic anatomy were significantly increased after US training (increased overall confidence score, 1.87 ± 0.91 and improvement in sonographic anatomy score, 6.55 ± 1.55, p values < 0.001).ConclusionUS training using pocket-sized ultrasound devices was found to be educationally valuable for medical students in terms of improving understanding of US principles and familiarizing students with sonographic anatomy.
