Mark Danila, Cynthia Zheng, Ryan J. Salvatore, Rachel Cary, Sara Youssef, Grace Pinhal-Enfield, Catherine Chen – There has been increasing interest in point of care ultrasound (POCUS) as a learning tool in preclinical medical anatomy and physiology courses. Few interventions have used team-based learning (TBL) to teach cardiac POCUS.
Nilan Schnure, MD; Mahmoud Mohamed Elfadil, MD; Wilma Chan, MD MSCE; Cameron Baston, MD MSCE; Frances Shofer, PhD; Nova Panebianco, MD MPH – Despite growing use of point of care ultrasound (POCUS), there remains a paucity of data about familiarity with POCUS among educators who dictate curricular content in undergraduate medical education. This paper aims to longitudinally characterize the level of comfort and frequency of POCUS use among faculty involved in undergraduate clerkship education.
Sydney Murray, BSc; Krista Trinder, MSc; Linden Kolbenson, MD; Jeremy Katulka, MD; Paul Olszynski, MD, MEd – Feedback on Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) skills is essential for skill development. Providing feedback can be difficult in a large province with several distributed medical education sites. Use of handheld POCUS devices and a cloud-based image archiving enables virtual supervision. We evaluated the quality of uploaded images as well as feedback provided to students.
