Ultrasound in undergraduate medical education: a systematic and critical review
ConclusionsOur analysis has shown that the frequently repeated rationales for the integration of ultrasound in UME are not supported by a sufficient base of empirical research. The repetition of these dominant discursive rationales in academic publications legitimises them and may preclude further primary research. As the value of clinical ultrasound use by medical students remains unproven, educators must consider whether the associated financial and temporal costs are justified or whether more research is required.

Indonesian primary care physicians profile in 2011: Did practicing hours and conversion program for family medicine differentiate their services and continuing medical education activities?
Conclusions: The Indonesian PCPs were lacking in the provision of some particular medical procedures, management and follows up of acute and chronic conditions, and preventive medicine and health education. Improvement of primary health care has been seen globally as necessary effort in health systems reform and this information could provide guidance toward the efforts to improve the quality of primary care physicians in Indonesia.

Use of a national continuing medical education meeting to provide simulation-based training in temporary hemodialysis catheter insertion skills: a pre-test post-test study
Conclusions Despite most participants reporting having previously inserted NTHCs in clinical practice, none met the MPS at baseline; this suggests their prior training may have been inadequate.

Teaching ultrasound in a curricular course according to certified EFSUMB standards during undergraduate medical education: a prospective study
Background: As a non-invasive and readily available diagnostic tool, ultrasound is one of the most important imaging techniques in medicine. Ultrasound is usually trained during residency preferable according to German Society of Ultrasound in Medicine (DEGUM) standards. Our curriculum calls for undergraduate training in ultrasound of medical students in their 4th year of undergraduate education. An explorative pilot study evaluated the acceptance of this teaching method, and compared it to other practical activities in medical education at Muenster University Methods: 240 medical students in their 4th year of undergraduat...

Medical Education Curriculum where Ultrasound can be synchronized with Existing Goals and Objectives in the Pre-clinical and Clinical Experiences
With the rapid expansion of ultrasound in undergraduate medical education, a common question faced by course and clerkship directors is: “How do I fit ultrasound into an already crowded curriculum?” One answer to this question is to use ultrasound as a teaching tool to meet the goals and objectives as already defined in courses and clerkships. Examples of how this can be accomplished in both the pre-clinical and clinical experiences while also adding value to these experiences will be presented.

Aiming for Better Medical Education in Africa
Improving healthcare standards in developing countries does not simply mean enhanced access to medicines. Often medical education systems are not fit for purpose, and inherent problems with infrastructure, communication, and facilities in remote areas, in particular, mean that modernization of medicine is next to impossible. The African Institute for Medical Education (AIM) is a CPA-audited 501 c.3. organization registered in the US in 2014, and its goal is exceptionally admirable – to educate nurses, midwives and other medical professionals by visiting the most remote villages in Uganda by delivering “the most advance...

From chalkboard, slides, and paper to e‐learning: How computing technologies have transformed anatomical sciences education
Until the late‐twentieth century, primary anatomical sciences education was relatively unenhanced by advanced technology and dependent on the mainstays of printed textbooks, chalkboard‐ and photographic projection‐based classroom lectures, and cadaver dissection laboratories. But over the past three decades, diffusion of innovations in computer technology transformed the practices of anatomical education and research, along with other aspects of work and daily life. Increasing adoption of first‐generation personal computers (PCs) in the 1980s paved the way for the first practical educational applications, and visio...

Creation of an optic nerve sheath diameter ultrasound model for NeuroICU education
ConclusionA simple 3D ballistic ONSD model allows learners to practice proper hand placement and pressure, basic landmarks, and ONSD measurement prior to operating on a human eye. This model is replicable and sustainable given that the globe and platform are composed of ballistics gel.

Ultrasonography in undergraduate medical education: a comprehensive review and the education program implemented at Jichi Medical University
AbstractThe concept of point-of-care ultrasound has been widely accepted owing to the development of portable ultrasound systems and growing body of evidence concerning its extensive utility. Thus, it is reasonable to suggest that training to use this modality be included in undergraduate medical education. Training in ultrasonography helps medical students learn basic subjects such as anatomy and physiology, improve their physical examination skills, and acquire diagnostic and procedural skills. Technological advances such as simulators, affordable handheld devices, and tele-ultrasound systems can facilitate undergraduate...

Education and training in lung ultrasound: a systematic review
Conclusion: Even though the literature proved increased theoretical and practical skills obtained, heterogeneity of the studies, especially methods of assessment, makes it difficult to compare the results, and establish recommendations. When looking at research in medical education in general and simulation training, this could have great potential for reproducible, objective assessment and effects on skill and behaviour

Building a bigger tent in point-of-care ultrasound education: a mixed-methods evaluation of interprofessional, near-peer teaching of internal medicine residents by sonography students
Point-of-care-ultrasound (POCUS) training is expanding in undergraduate and graduate medical education, but lack of trained faculty is a major barrier. Two strategies that may help mitigate this obstacle are i...
