A study conducted at the Medical University of South Carolina aimed to develop a point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) curriculum for undergraduate medical education. The study used a quasi-experimental design, with one group of students receiving baseline POCUS education and access to a high-fidelity ultrasound simulator, and another group receiving only baseline education. The results showed that the group with access to the simulator demonstrated significant improvement in POCUS confidence and knowledge. However, the study also highlighted the need for additional educational methods to overcome cognitive bias and potential overconfidence. The next stage of curriculum development will include resident-led POCUS workshops to supplement simulation. [Extracted from the article] |
