Summary
This case study explores the increasing clinical applications of point-of-care ultrasound (US) and the growing support for integrating US curricula into undergraduate medical education.
Despite the enthusiasm and evidence for point-of-care US education, there is considerable variability in how it is designed and delivered across different medical education programs, and no widely adopted national standards and guidelines exist.
The article emphasizes the educational and teaching aspects of point-of-care US, with a focus on outcomes, and reviews the evidence related to curricular design, delivery, integration, and competency assessment for point-of-care US in undergraduate medical education.
