    The introduction of ultrasound into medical student education is well underway in many locations around the world, but is still in its infancy or has yet to begin in others. Proper incorporation of ultrasound education into medical training requires planning and resources, both capital and human. In this article, we discuss the state of the art of ultrasound in medical education throughout the world, as well as various methodologies utilized to improve student education and to incorporate ultrasound into every facet of training. Experiences from various educational systems and available evidence regarding the impact of ultrasound education are summarized. Representing multiple societies and specialties throughout the world, we discuss established modern as well as novel education structures and different successful approaches.

    Medical student ultrasound education, a WFUMB position paper, Part II. A consensus statement by ultrasound societies
    (2020-05-11) Hoffmann, Beatrice; Blaivas, Michael; Abramowicz, Jacques S.; Nielsen, Michael Bachmann; Badea, Radu; Braden, Barbara; Cantisani, Vito; Chammas, Maria C.; Cui, Xin Wu; Dong, Yi; Gilja, Odd Helge; Hari, Roman; Lamprecht, Hein; Nisenbaum, Harvey; Nolsøe, Christian Pállson; Nürnberg, Dieter; Prosch, Helmut; Radzina, Maija; Recker, Florian; Sachs, Alexander; Saftoiu, Adrian; Serra, Andreas; Vinayak, Sudhir; Westerway, Sue; Chou, Yi Hong; Dietrich, Christoph F.; Department of Radiology
    Ultrasound is becoming a fundamental first-line diagnostic tool for most medical specialties and an innovative tool to teach anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology to undergraduate and graduate students. However, availability of structured training programs during medical school is lagging behind and many physicians still acquire all their ultrasound skills during postgraduate training. There is wide variation in medical student ultrasound education worldwide. Sharing successful educational strategies from early adopter medical schools and learning from leading education programs should advance the integration of ultrasound into the university medical school curricula. In this overview, we present current approaches and suggestions by ultrasound societies concerning medical student education throughout the world. Based on these examples, we formulate a consensus statement with suggestions on how to integrate ultrasound teaching into the preclinical and clinical medical curricula.

    (2019) Nielsen, Michael Bachmann; Cantisani, Vito; Sidhu, Paul S.; Badea, Radu; Batko, Tomasz; Carlsen, Jonathan; Claudon, Michel; Ewertsen, Caroline; Garre, Carmen; Genov, Jordan; Gilja, Odd Helge; Havre, Roald; Kosiak, Mateusz; Kosiak, Wojciek; Pilcher, James; Prosch, Helmut; Radzina, Maija; Rafailidis, Vasileios; Rykkje, Alexander; Serra, Andreas; Sotriadis, Alexandros; Ostergaard, Mia; Dietrich, Christoph F.
    The miniaturization of ultrasound equipment in the form of tablet-or smartphone-sized ultrasound equipment is a result of the rapid evolution of technology and handheld ultrasound devices (HHUSD). This position paper of the European Federation of Societies in Ultrasound and Medicine (EFSUMB) assesses the current status of HHUSD in abdominal ultrasound, pediatric ultrasound, targeted echocardiography and heart ultrasound, and we will report position comments on the most common clinical applications. Also included is a SWOT (Strength-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats) analysis, the use for handheld devices for medical students, educational & training aspects, documentation, storage and safety considerations.
