The aim of this study was to determine if there is a relationship between point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) and the decision to apply to a physician assistant (PA) program. First-year students from a single PA program were asked to complete a confidential online survey regarding their perception of POCUS and PA program admission applications. A total of 57 students were invited, of whom 53 (96%) completed the survey. Of the 53 students who completed the survey, 51 (96%) agreed that POCUS would be a useful tool in their education, while 45 (85%) of students agreed that the PA program would attract more applicants if POCUS was incorporated into the curriculum. Incorporating POCUS in the PA curriculum could be an added benefit that has the potential to attract a higher number of PA applicants.
本研究旨在确定床边超声检查（POCUS）与申请医师助理（PA）项目之间是否存在关系。一个 PA 项目的一年级学生被要求完成一项关于他们对 POCUS 和 PA 项目入学申请的看法的保密在线调查。共有 57 名学生受邀，其中 53 名（96%）完成了调查。在完成调查的 53 名学生中，有 51 名（96%）同意 POCUS 将成为他们教育的有用工具，而 45 名（85%）的学生同意如果将 POCUS 纳入课程，PA 项目将吸引更多的申请者。将 POCUS 纳入 PA 课程中可能是一个额外的好处，有可能吸引更多的 PA 申请者。
