Abstract
Implication Statement
Ultrasonography has become a valuable procedural guide and diagnostic tool across many medical specialties. A 2017 descriptive cross-sectional survey at Memorial University of Newfoundland found that there was support to integrate preclinical and clinical applications of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) into the undergraduate medical anatomy curriculum. Unlike previous studies that have focused on scanning a single body system, our group utilized a station-based model that allowed medical students to scan several different body systems throughout the year. Our experience in creating the syllabus, collecting feedback, and creating multiple choice assessment questions will be useful to other educators who may wish to integrate POCUS into their curriculum.
Résumé
Énoncé des implications de la recherche
L’échographie est devenue un outil de guidage procédural et de diagnostic précieux dans de nombreuses spécialités médicales. Une enquête descriptive transversale menée en 2017 à l’Université Memorial de Terre-Neuve a révélé un appui à l’intégration des applications précliniques et cliniques de l’échographie au point d’intervention (POCUS) dans le programme d’anatomie en médecine de premier cycle. Contrairement aux études antérieures qui portaient sur l’examen d’un seul système corporel, notre groupe a adopté un modèle basé sur des stations, permettant aux étudiants en médecine d’examiner plusieurs systèmes corporels au cours de l’année. Notre expérience dans la création du syllabus, la collecte de rétroaction et l’élaboration de questions d’évaluation à choix multiples pourra être utile à d’autres enseignants souhaitant intégrer la POCUS à leur programme.
