Advocating for integrating a cardiac point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) curriculum into Internal Medicine residency, this letter emphasizes the unique advantages of cardiac POCUS, particularly its rapid utility and safety, while highlighting existing knowledge gaps among trainees. This perspective research letter underscores the need for a structured advanced cardiac POCUS elective to address the knowledge and skill gaps among internal medicine trainees who have taken the introductory POCUS elective, providing a career preparatory course for internal medicine residents interested in cardiology, critical care, hospital medicine, primary care, and rural medicine. The perspective research paper also underscores the feasibility and benefits of such training, ultimately supporting the implementation of an advanced cardiac POCUS elective in the United States Internal Medicine residency programs.

Article Synopsis
- Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a hereditary disorder affecting 2% of newborns in Ghana and linked to the hemoglobin S gene, with Christian leaders potentially influencing awareness and prevention efforts.
- A qualitative study was conducted with 16 Christian leaders in Ghana to assess their awareness and perceptions of SCD through semi-structured interviews, revealing a general awareness of the disease but also notable misconceptions.
- While many leaders understand SCD as a genetic condition, some hold superstitious beliefs and mischaracterize it as a blood group issue, leading them to view it as burdensome and associated with burnout for affected individuals and their families.
