A Decade of POCUS Training in Family Medicine: Curriculum and Outcomes

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) curriculum implemented in family medicine training over a decade. They found that despite initial barriers such as limited faculty time and resources, the curriculum led to increased POCUS utilization among graduates, particularly in rural settings, and highlighted the importance of tailoring training to specific practice environments to enhance long-term adoption.
