Implementing a National Ultrasound Curriculum for Medical Students

Recognizing the benefits of early ultrasound education but seeing gaps in implementation, the Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound (SRU) and the Alliance of Medical School Educators in Radiology (AMSER) designed a “National Ultrasound Curriculum for Medical Students.” In order to help medical educators and administrators integrate the recommendations, SonoSim has created a UME Curriculum Checklist mapping SonoSim Modules to the corresponding curriculum.

Increase Vascular Scanning Competency with New Pathologies

New aorta and IVC real-patient scanning cases are available in the Aorta/IVC Core Clinical Module. Use color-flow and pulsed-wave Doppler to evaluate and diagnose pathologies such as: aortic aneurysm with mural thrombus, aortic aneurysm with endovascular graft, bi-lobed fusiform aortic aneurysm, hypovolemia, infrarenal aortic aneurysm, and more.

Challenging Medical Students' Scanning Knowledge at SonoSlam

Hosted by AIUM and the National Ultrasound Interest Group, SonoSlam brought medical students from around the country this April to participate in ultrasound-related challenges. Scanning real-patient data, students were tasked with diagnosing pathologic conditions and integrating findings into clinical decision making.

Improving Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant Ultrasound Training with SEMPA

We’re happy to collaborate with the Society of Emergency Medicine Physician Assistants (SEMPA). As the largest organization for emergency medicine physician assistants (EMPAs), SEMPA was established to serve as the representative body for EMPAs to advance, protect, and promote their role in emergency medicine.
