Introduction: Pediatric residency programs often do not include a point of care ultrasound (POCUS) curriculum. We analyzed a novel POCUS curriculum for pediatric residents that incorporated an online question bank (QB), in addition to a traditional teaching model of didactic instruction and hands-on learning experience. Methods: Four high-yield POCUS topics were chosen: Focused Assessment by Sonography for Trauma (FAST), soft tissue, lung, and cardiac. Residents completed online multiple-choice quizzes before and after each of four in-person learning sessions, taught by ultrasound faculty and fellows. At the end of the academic year participants completed a knowledge retention quiz. Confidence surveys were administered to participants throughout the course of the study. Differences in means were compared by Student’s t-test. Results: Learners demonstrated post-intervention score improvement for each of the four modules. Retention testing demonstrated retained improvement for the soft tissue and cardiac modules, but not for the FAST module. Self-reported confidence increased across all four topics. Conclusion: A multimodal POCUS curriculum utilizing a combination of an online QB and in-person teaching demonstrated lasting knowledge for pediatric trainees. |
