Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) is performed by the physician at the bedside to rapidly diagnose and guide treatment. POCUS has exponentially grown as a clinical tool and has been shown to lead to improvements in both patient care and patient safety. Competency in POCUS is required by the Residency Review Committees for multiple medical specialties not just limited to Emergency Medicine (EM) with specific educational milestones and specialty-specific credentialing requirements. In addition to the requirement to provide adequate training in POCUS for physicians in training, there a larger need to integrate ultrasound education into medical student, physician assistant and nursing curriculums.
Improve didactics that deliver POCUS content in 12 core areas (American College of Emergency Physicians 2008 Guidelines) allowing more interactive educational sessions and better preparation for hands-on scanning in both the simulated and clinical environments. This digital curriculum begins with “Foundations in POCUS” and in the future will include more advanced ultrasound education.
