As point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) becomes standard practice in pediatric emergency medicine (PEM), it is important to have benchmarks in place for credentialing PEM faculty in POCUS. Faculty must be systematically trained and assessed for competency in order to be credentialed in POCUS and granted privileges by an individual institution. Recommendations on credentialing PEM faculty are needed to ensure appropriate, consistent, and responsible use of this diagnostic and procedural tool. It is our intention that these guidelines will serve as a framework for credentialing faculty in PEM POCUS.
随着床边超声(POCUS)在儿科急诊医学(PEM)中成为标准实践,为 PEM 教师在 POCUS 中获得认证制定基准是很重要的。为了在 POCUS 中获得认证并被个别机构授予特权,教师必须接受系统的培训和能力评估。需要对 PEM 教师的认证进行建议,以确保对这一诊断和程序工具的使用是适当、一致和负责任的。我们的目的是,这些指南将作为 PEM POCUS 教师认证的框架。
