Early exposure to technical knowledge improves dexterity and encourages ingenuity. We see the role of ultrasound as a “sonoscope”. Use of sonoscope improves anatomical understanding and improves virtual image interpretation (mind’s eye). Early sonoscope use does not interfere with learning physical examination rather it improves one’s sensitivity as one sees what lies underneath one’s hand. Sonoscope is being used by various medical specialities not only to make diagnosis, but also to monitor and guide interventions. Medical schools worldwide have realised the need and relevance of sonoscope in medical curriculum and hence this needs to be integrated in undergraduate medical education in developing countries.

The 2019 CSIM national meeting included a workshop focused on current topics related to medical education across Canada. The workshop topics included leadership in education, teaching point of care ultrasound, teaching clinical reasoning, and using competency based medical education to design a maintenance of competency program for practicing specialists. This article reflects the experience and discussions from the session, with the goal of stimulating national conversations and collaborations betweenCSIM members.

Point Of Care Ultrasonography

Point of care ultrasonography (POCUS) has had its applications expand rapidly over recent years and across several medical specialties. Enough so that is has become an essential skill in most residency training programs across Canada. Despite this, there is little to no structured POCUS training at the medical undergraduate level. The goal of this commentary is to briefly introduce the value of POCUS in medical education; the feasibility of its integration; current barriers to its introduction; and the potential for students to be a possible solution until faculty can introduce a formal undergraduate POCUS curriculum.

Educational Initiative

AbstractIn 2014, over 60% of medical schools were incorporating point of care ultrasound (POCUS) into their curriculum. Today, over 6 years later, many more schools are teaching POCUS or are in the planning stages of implementing a POCUS curriculum. In 2019, the AAMC reported that 53 schools or over one-third of US medical schools have multi-site campuses for undergraduate medical education. Implementation of a POCUS educational initiative at a multi-site campus presents unique challenges for teaching a uniform curriculum statewide. This article will discuss the POCUS curriculum and implementation process at a large multi-site institution.
