Seeing Is Believing: Evaluating a Point-of-Care Ultrasound Curriculum for 1st-Year Medical Students.
This study assessed the impact of a point-of-care ultrasound curriculum on image acquisition, interpretation, and student and faculty perceptions of the course. INTERVENTION: All 142 first-year medical students completed a curriculum on ultrasound physics and instrumentation, cardiac, thoracic, and abdominal imaging. A flipped classroom model of preclass tutorials and tests augmenting live, hands-on scanning sessions was incorporated into the physical examination course. Students and faculty completed surveys on impressions of the curriculum, and all students under-went competency assessments with standardized patient...

Pilot Point-of-Care Ultrasound Curriculum at Harvard Medical School: Early Experience. Rempell, Joshua
We report our efforts of integrating POCUS into the medical curriculum through a multi-disciplinary effort. Our objective is to describe our process of integrating POCUS as an educational tool into the medical school curriculum and how such efforts are perceived by students. Methods: This was a pilot study to introduce ultrasonography into the “blinded for peer review” curriculum to first and second year medical students.  Didactic and hands-on sessions were introduced to first year students during gross anatomy and to second year students in the physical exam course.  Student-perceived attitud...

An Acoustic Tracking Approach for Medical Ultrasound Image Simulator.
This study investigated a novel acoustic tracking approach for an ultrasound simulation system that exhibits high sensitivity and is cost-effective. Five air-coupled ultrasound elements are arranged as a 1D array in front of a sham probe for transmitting the acoustic signals, and a 5 × 5 2D array of receiving elements is used to receive the acoustic signals from the moving transmitting elements. Since the patterns of the received signals can differ for different positions and angles of the moving probe, the probe can be tracked precisely by the acoustic tracking approach. After the probe position has been determined by ...

Introductory Resident-Led Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Case-Based Ultrasound Workshop for Medical Students
The core clinical ultrasound milestones for medical students in the United States do not cover the majority of clinical topics pertinent to the specialty of physical medicine and rehabilitation. In addition, one of the major barriers to teaching physical medicine and rehabilitation residents ultrasound is a lack of instructors with sufficient experience. A solution to both of these problems is the establishment of a resident-led case-based ultrasound workshop for medical students that introduces them to the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation. This novel workshop involved 30 medical students and 9 resident instru...

2088402 An Early Start to Echocardiography: Does A First Year Medical Student Cardiac Ultrasound Workshop Help Students’ Self-Assessed Understanding of The Cardiac Physical Exam?
Point of care ultrasound has been described as an extension of the physical exam, which has allowed for its incorporation into multiple undergraduate medical education curricula. The OBJECTIVES: of this study was to obtain first year medical students’ evaluation of a very early echocardiography workshop during their first week of medical school alongside the cardiac physical exam workshop.

2087403 Institution of an Undergraduate Medical Ultrasound Training Curriculum
Ultrasound (US) training for medical students is increasingly recognized as an upcoming standard in Undergraduate Medical Education (UME). Numerous institutions have created US programs for medical students at various stages of training, in some cases as early as the first year. Schools also promote their US curricula to prospective applicants, who may actively seek out programs with ultrasound training included in their UME.

Radiation protection aspects of EMITEL Encyclopaedia of Medical Physics
The Encyclopaedia of Medical Physics EMITEL was developed under the EU pilot project European Medical Imaging Technology e-Encyclopaedia for Lifelong Learning. This large reference material includes 3400 articles on 2100 pages supported by thousands of illustrations. All materials are available free at the website, www.emitel2.eu. The articles are grouped in seven categories—physics of: X-ray diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, radiotherapy, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound imaging, radiation protection and general terms. The radiation protection part of EMITEL includes 450 articles. These were organised in...

Development of a Fresh Cadaver Model for Instruction of Ultrasound-Guided Breast Biopsy During the Surgery Clerkship: Pre- and Post-Test Results Among Third Year Medical Students
Ultrasound-guided breast biopsy and aspiration (USGBBA) is an essential clinic-based skill used in the management of breast disease. Limited exposure to technical procedures is often encountered by medical students today. We investigated the utility of a fresh cadaver model (FCM) to teach third year medical students USGBBA of palpable breast lesions.

The Fetal Magnetic Resonance Imaging Experience in a Large Community Medical Center
Peter M Ghobrial, Rebecca A Levy, Stephen C O'ConnorJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2011 1(1):29-29Fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) continues to prove a useful problem solving tool for diagnostic and management decision making issues encountered in the antenatal period. In this paper, we attempt to review basic fetal MRI protocol considerations and demonstrate key imaging findings through multiple modalities, with pathologic correlation in several cases. A study of five fetal MRI cases, from our institution, were selected in order to highlight both the indications for, and benefits obtained from this advan...

Value of artisanal simulators to train veterinary students in performing invasive ultrasound-guided procedures.
Abstract Pericardial effusion can lead to cardiac tamponade, which endangers an animal's life. Ultrasound-guided pericardiocentesis is used to remove abnormal liquid; however, it requires technical expertise. In veterinary medical education, the opportunity to teach this procedure to save lives during emergencies is rare; therefore, simulators are recommended for this practice. The present study aimed to create a model that can be made "at home" at low cost for ultrasound-guided pericardiocentesis training and to gather feedback about this model through questionnaires given to the participants. Eighteen profession...

Ultrasound-based lectures on cardiovascular physiology and reflexes for medical students
In conclusion, as ultrasound has been found to be a valuable resource for the teaching of physiology of the cardiovascular system and cardiovascular reflexes, efforts should be made to integrate ultrasound sessions into the traditional human physiology curriculum.

Patients' estimations of the importance of preventive health services: a nationwide, population-based cross-sectional study in Portugal
Conclusions Our results reveal that Portuguese patients overestimate the importance of preventive medical activities, tend to give more importance to diagnostic and laboratory tests than to lifestyle measures, do not discriminate tests that are important and evidence-based, and seem not be aware of the individualisation of risk. Family physicians should be aware of these optimistic expectations, because these can influence the doctor–patient relationship when discussing these interventions and incorporating personalised risk.
