Ultrasound has become an important skill for emergency physicians. Ultrasound is more crucial in resource-limited settings where diagnostic testing may not be as timely or available at all. In 2015, an emergency medicine ultrasound curriculum was implemented at Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation in Georgetown, Guyana. Implementing an ultrasound-training curriculum in Guyana had four main challenges: limited ultrasound equipment, lack of informational technology infrastructure to record and review ultrasound examinations, availability of local emergency ultrasound expertise, and competing educational needs within the curriculum. These challenges were met with creative solutions and the formation of a formalized curriculum and credentialing process. The experience of creating the program is described along with the curriculum, credentialing process, and plan for sustainability. Since implementation, every graduating resident has displayed competency on final assessment.
超声已成为急诊医生的一项重要技能。在资源有限的环境中，超声更为关键，因为在这些环境中，诊断测试可能无法及时进行或根本无法进行。2015年，圭亚那乔治敦的乔治敦公立医院公司实施了急诊医学超声课程。在圭亚那实施超声培训课程面临四个主要挑战：超声设备有限、缺乏记录和审查超声检查的信息技术基础设施、当地急诊超声专业知识的可用性以及课程内相互竞争的教育需求。通过创造性的解决方案以及形成正式的课程和认证流程，这些挑战得到了应对。文中描述了创建该项目的经验，以及课程、认证流程和可持续发展计划。自实施以来，每一位毕业的住院医生在最终评估中都表现出了能力。
