Integration of Point-of-Care Ultrasound Training into Undergraduate Medical Curricula--A Perspective from Medical Students.

The utility of point of care ultrasound training during medical school is becoming more and more evident. At the Loma Linda University School of Medicine, we have formally integrated ultrasound education into the curriculum of all four years. Exposure begins in the first few months of Year 1 and takes form in a variety of educational mediums through Year 4.

Integration of Ultrasound in Medical Education at United States Medical Schools: A National Survey of Directors' Experiences.

Objectives: Despite the rise of ultrasound in medical education (USMED), multiple barriers impede the implementation of such curricula in medical schools. No studies to date have surveyed individuals who are successfully championing USMED programs. This study aimed to investigate the experiences with ultrasound integration as perceived by active USMED directors across the United States.
