Neuromuscular ultrasound has become an essential tool in the diagnostic evaluation of various neuromuscular disorders, and, as such, there is growing interest in neuromuscular ultrasound training. Effective training is critical in mastering this modality. Our aim was to develop consensus-based guidelines for neuromuscular ultrasound training courses. A total of 18 experts participated. Expert opinion was sought through the Delphi method using 4 consecutive electronic surveys. A high degree of consensus was achieved with regard to the general structure of neuromuscular ultrasound training; the categorization of training into basic, intermediate, and advanced levels; the learning objectives; and the curriculum for each level. In this study, a group of neuromuscular ultrasound experts established consensus-based guidelines for neuromuscular ultrasound training. These guidelines can be used in the development of the specialty and the standardization of neuromuscular ultrasound training courses and workshops.
神经肌肉超声已成为诊断评估各种神经肌肉疾病的重要工具，因此，人们对神经肌肉超声培训越来越感兴趣。有效的培训对于掌握这种模式至关重要。我们的目的是为神经肌肉超声培训课程制定基于共识的指南。共有 18 名专家参与。通过使用 4 次连续的电子调查，采用德尔菲法征求专家意见。在神经肌肉超声培训的一般结构、将培训分为基础、中级和高级水平、学习目标以及每个水平的课程方面，达成了高度共识。在这项研究中，一组神经肌肉超声专家为神经肌肉超声培训制定了基于共识的指南。这些指南可用于该专业的发展以及神经肌肉超声培训课程和研讨会的标准化。
