The Society for Acute Medicine launched their ultrasound accreditation in September 2016, involving a practical course alongside completion of scanning competencies. Candidates require a registered supervisor to oversee their training. We present here the results of a survey of attendees of practical courses approximately 2 years after launch. The majority of respondents were Consultants or trainees within AIM. Fourteen of 76 (18.4%) respondents had completed the whole accreditation process, whilst 51 (67.1%) had not completed any of the three individual modules. The biggest barriers to accreditation were seen to be lack of supervisors, and lack of dedicated training time. There was good uptake of available online learning resources with good feedback. These results will be used to help develop the training pathway further and widen access to ultrasound training within the specialty and beyond.
急性医学学会于 2016 年 9 月推出了他们的超声认证，包括实践课程和扫描能力的完成。候选人需要有注册主管监督他们的培训。我们在此介绍了在推出大约 2 年后，对实践课程参与者的调查结果。大多数受访者是 AIM 内的顾问或受训者。在 76 名受访者中，有 14 名（18.4%）完成了整个认证过程，而 51 名（67.1%）没有完成三个单独模块中的任何一个。认证的最大障碍被认为是缺乏主管和缺乏专门的培训时间。在线学习资源的使用率很高，反馈也很好。这些结果将用于帮助进一步发展培训途径，并扩大该专业内外的超声培训机会。
