Popis: Ultrasonography is increasingly used at the bedside. In the absence of an already developed curriculum appropriate for Canadian internal medicine training programs, 13 representatives from internal medicine programs in five Western Canadian provinces met for 2 days to develop and propose a consensus-based internal medicine curriculum for training in the bedside use of ultrasonography in a Canadian health care context.All 13 had had interest or leadership role in those programs. The curriculum’s content was based on three overarching principles agreed upon by the group: (1) content should be selected on the basis of clinical or educational need; (2) content should be feasible (i.e., both cognitive and technical components of the curriculum could be reasonably taught and learned in a competency-based manner while minimizing potential risks to patients); and (3) content should be evidence based. A consensusbased curriculum of 16 proposed topics is to be considered for the core internal medicine residency training program (postgraduate year [PGY] 1 to PGY 3), and 22 topics are to be considered for general internal medicine subspecialty training programs (PGY 4 to PGY 5).
