The value of point-of-care ultrasound education in resource-limited settings is increasingly recognized, though little guidance exists on how to best construct a sustainable training program. Herein we offer a practical overview of core factors to consider when developing and implementing a point-of-care ultrasound education program in a resource-limited setting. Considerations include analysis of needs assessment findings, development of locally relevant curriculum, access to ultrasound machines and related technological and financial resources, quality assurance and follow-up plans, strategic partnerships, and outcomes measures. Well-planned education programs in these settings increase the potential for long-term influence on clinician skills and patient care.
在资源有限的环境中,即时超声教育的价值正逐渐被认可,但对于如何构建一个可持续的培训计划,目前还没有太多的指导。在此,我们提供了一个实用的概述,介绍了在资源有限的环境中开发和实施即时超声教育计划时需要考虑的核心因素。需要考虑的因素包括需求评估结果分析、制定当地相关课程、获取超声机及相关技术和财务资源、质量保证和后续计划、战略伙伴关系以及结果衡量。在这些环境中,精心规划的教育计划增加了对临床医生技能和患者护理产生长期影响的潜力。
