摘要
Ultrasound is being introduced into many medical schools and incorporated into the anatomy curriculum; however, in most cases, this consists of proctored sessions which can be limited by faculty time and availability. Additionally, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has significantly impacted medical education, especially ultrasound education, which has traditionally depended on hands-on practice and instruction. A structured, independent, hands-on learning curriculum using ultrasound would have many benefits. In this study, eight self-guided system-based modules were developed mirroring the undergraduate anatomy curriculum. For each scan, a beginner, intermediate, and advanced component was designed. Each module contains clear, stepwise directions for image acquisition, optimization, and interpretation of the anatomical structures and suggestions for troubleshooting. Students save ultrasound images as part of their digital portfolios for review with ultrasound faculty. This design provides an educational model to increase medical student opportunities for independent, structured, self-directed anatomy learning with ultrasound that can be integrated with existing educational programs.
