From Pilot to Practice: A Checklist Approach to POCUS Training in Family Medicine

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of direct-observation checklists for teaching point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) skills in family medicine residency, specifically for obstetric and musculoskeletal assessments. Their findings indicate that these structured checklists are feasible, well-received by both faculty and residents, and enhance the learning experience by providing systematic feedback, despite some challenges related to time constraints and checklist item observability.
