Ultrasound is becoming a fundamental first-line diagnostic tool for most medical specialties and an innovative tool to teach anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology to undergraduate and graduate students. However, availability of structured training programs during medical school is lagging behind and many physicians still acquire all their ultrasound skills during postgraduate training.There is wide variation in medical student ultrasound education worldwide. Sharing successful educational strategies from early adopter medical schools and learning from leading education programs should advance the integration of ultrasound into the university medical school curricula. In this overview, we present current approaches and suggestions by ultrasound societies concerning medical student educa-tion throughout the world. Based on these examples, we formulate a consensus statement with suggestions on how to integrate ultrasound teaching into the preclinical and clinical medical curricula.
超声在大多数医学专业中已成为基本的一线诊断工具,也是向本科生和研究生教授解剖学、生理学和病理生理学的创新工具。然而,医学院校的结构化培训课程的普及程度却落后了,许多医生仍然是在研究生培训期间获得所有超声技能。全球范围内医学生的超声教育存在很大差异。分享早期采用者医学院的成功教育策略,并从领先的教育计划中学习,应该可以推动超声技术融入大学医学院的课程中。在这篇综述中,我们展示了世界各地的超声学会关于医学生教育的当前方法和建议。基于这些例子,我们提出了一个共识声明,其中包含有关如何将超声教学纳入临床前和临床医学课程的建议。
