Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Applications Taught Within Canadian Internal Medicine Residency Programs: Results of a National Survey

Ryan Marinovich; Michael G. R. Beyaert; Steven J. Montague; Irene W. Y. Ma; Luke A. Devine – Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) is an important tool for bedside diagnostics and procedures within internal medicine. In 2017 the Canadian Internal Medicine Ultrasound (CIMUS) group provided recommendations for applications to teach POCUS to internal medicine trainees. The way that training programs have implemented these recommendations has not been assessed. We aim to assess POCUS applications taught within internal medicine training programs, five years after the CIMUS group’s recommendations.
