We created a clinical ultrasound (CUS) elective in clerkship, which gave medical students the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and technical skills while refining their CUS-related clinical decision making. This elective uniquely allowed medical students to integrate their CUS knowledge and skills into real patient care within the clinical environment (discipline) of their choice. As such, beyond supporting increasing technical competence, students learned to advocate for appropriate use of CUS, an important skill for trainees to develop.
我们在临床实习中开设了一门临床超声（CUS）选修课，这使医学生有机会在提升与CUS相关的临床决策能力的同时，增强他们的知识和技术技能。这门选修课独特之处在于，它让医学生能够在自己选择的临床环境（学科）中将CUS知识和技能融入实际患者护理中。因此，除了提高技术能力外，学生们还学会了倡导合理使用CUS，这是医学生需要培养的一项重要技能。
