Implementation and Assessment of a Curriculum for Renal Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Training
Yoshiko Ishisaka, Hong Yu Wang, Hayato Mitaka, Elliot Charen, Paru Patrawalla – Renal ultrasound is a non-invasive method to assess for obstructive acute kidney injury (AKI). Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) has been shown to be a good screening tool for obstructive AKI, and with formal training, has high sensitivity and specificity. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of integrating a novel renal POCUS curriculum into an existing two-week nephrology rotation for internal medicine residents.
