Integration of ultrasonography training into undergraduate medical education: catch up with professional needs

Abstract: Objective Ultrasonography (US) has become the first-line imaging modality even for physicians who are not imaging specialists. The progress has not yet been sufficiently considered in medical education. The aim was to develop a curriculum that integrates US as a compulsory part into medical education directly from the start, to build up professional competencies toward residency. Methods Development was based on Kern’s six-step approach to identify… Show more

“…One explanation might be the longer interval until the follow-up observation in our study and the more homogeneous study group (same semester). This provides grounds for embedding more ultrasound contact points within compulsory teaching [ 10 , 15 , 25 ].…”

“…Comparison of traditional degree programmes with so-called model degree programmes in relation to the development of ultrasound skills should also become part of future multicentre studies. These model programmes offer the advantage of horizontal and vertical integration of learning content and associated topic and organ-centred modularisation [ 15 , 25 , 48 ].…”

“…Ultrasonography is increasingly being incorporated into various parts of medical education both nationally and internationally [ 1 – 3 , 7 , 10 ]. This applies in particular to courses in abdominal ultrasonography, FAST (focused assessment with sonography in trauma) and echocardiography [ 1 – 3 , 6 , 10 , 12 – 14 ]. Little if any use is made of ultrasonography of the eyes and orbita, however [ 3 , 8 10 , 44 ].…”
