Article Synopsis
- Many physicians lack experience in using ultrasound for procedures due to the absence of formal training in medical schools and residency programs.
- An affordable ultrasound training curriculum was developed that involves a didactic session and a practice model with a gelatin substrate mimicking anatomic structures.
- Testing the model with 50 medical students and residents showed high success rates with the procedures (e.g. 84% successful cyst aspiration) and overall confidence in using ultrasound, suggesting it effectively boosts competency in ultrasound-guided techniques.
