Reorganization of the community healthcare system and the growing presence of group practices in the field of general medicine have increased the demands placed on primary-care medicine, in terms of the skills required and the level of responsibility. Satisfying the need for rapid, effective primary-care solutions to the health problems of citizens is easier thanks to technological and medical advances that provide high level equipment at costs within the reach of general practitioners (GPs). In the near future, trained GPs equipped with appropriate diagnostic scanners will be able to handle up to 40% of the requests of ultrasound examinations of each primary-care group (each PCG includes approximately 15,000-20,000 citizens). The Italian Federation of General Practitioners (Federazione Italiana dei Medici di Medicina Generale - FIMMG) and its Scientific Society, METIS, have organized national courses for those GPs who wish to become generalist ultrasonographers, in a joint effort with the two most important Italian scientific societies of imaging, the Italian Society of Ultrasonology in Medicine and Biology and the Italian Society of Medical Radiology.
社区医疗系统的重组以及全科医学领域团体执业的日益增多，在所需技能和责任水平方面，增加了对初级保健医学的要求。由于技术和医学进步，以全科医生（GPs）能够承受的成本提供了高水平设备，满足公民健康问题快速、有效初级保健解决方案的需求变得更加容易。在不久的将来，配备适当诊断扫描仪的训练有素的全科医生将能够处理每个初级保健组高达40%的超声检查请求（每个初级保健组包括约15000 - 20000名公民）。意大利全科医生联合会（Federazione Italiana dei Medici di Medicina Generale - FIMMG）及其科学协会METIS，与意大利两个最重要的影像科学协会——意大利医学与生物学超声学会和意大利医学放射学会共同努力，为那些希望成为全科超声医师的全科医生组织了全国性课程。
