The Distinction in Point-of-Care Ultrasound track is designed for residents who are interested in an advanced educational experience in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) and who anticipate utilized bedside clinical ultrasound as a part of their professional career. Residents who participate in this distinction are immersed in a flexible, mentored, experienced-based curriculum with hands-on learning and teaching activities specifically designed to extend beyond the current three-year longitudinal resident ultrasound curriculum (link to Ultrasound Curriculum accordion in the Curricula subsection). Residents work with mentors who review the portfolio of images obtained by the resident at bedside and provide feedback. Residents will also complete a scholarly activity related to ultrasound and/or ultrasound education under the guidance of their mentor.
This distinction track was first introduced in the Fall of 2022.
