To develop education guidelines for the conduct of future European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) courses.
We undertook a consensus-based, iterative process using two consecutive questionnaires sent to 29 senior ultrasonographer rheumatologists who comprised the faculty of the 14th EULAR ultrasound course (June 2007). The first questionnaire encompassed the following issues: type of MSUS educational model; course timing; course curriculum; course duration; number of participants per teacher in practical sessions; time spent on hands-on sessions; and the requirements and/or restrictions for attendance at the courses. The second questionnaire consisted of questions related to areas where consensus had not been achieved in the first questionnaire, and to the topics and pathologies to be assigned to different educational levels.
The response rate was 82.7% from the first questionnaire and 87.5% from the second questionnaire. The respondents were from 11 European countries. The group consensus on guidelines and curriculum was for a three-level education model (basic, intermediate and advanced) with timing and location related to the annual EULAR Congresses. The topics and pathologies to be included in each course were agreed. The course duration will be 20 h. There will be a maximum of six participants per teacher and 50-60% of total time will be spent on practical sessions. There was also agreement on prerequisite experience before attending the intermediate and advanced courses.
We have developed European agreed guidelines for the content and conduct of EULAR ultrasound courses, which may also be recommended to national and local MSUS training programmes.
制定未来欧洲抗风湿病联盟（EULAR）肌肉骨骼超声（MSUS）课程开展的教育指南。
我们采用基于共识的迭代过程，向组成第14届EULAR超声课程（2007年6月）教员团队的29名资深超声科风湿病专家发送了两份连续的问卷。第一份问卷涵盖以下问题：MSUS教育模式的类型；课程时间安排；课程课程设置；课程时长；实践课程中每位教师指导的学员人数；实践课程的时长；以及课程参与的要求和/或限制。第二份问卷包含与第一份问卷中未达成共识的领域相关的问题，以及分配给不同教育水平的主题和病症。
第一份问卷的回复率为82.7%，第二份问卷的回复率为87.5%。受访者来自11个欧洲国家。关于指南和课程设置的小组共识是采用三级教育模式（基础、中级和高级），时间安排和地点与年度EULAR大会相关。商定了每门课程应涵盖的主题和病症。课程时长为20小时。每位教师指导的学员最多为6名，总时间的50 - 60%将用于实践课程。对于参加中级和高级课程的先决经验也达成了一致。
我们已制定出欧洲认可的EULAR超声课程内容和开展指南，这些指南也可推荐给国家和地方的MSUS培训项目。
