Competency-Based Ultrasound Education & Training for Residents & Fellows

Overcoming the Barriers to Ultrasound Training for GME Programs

Graduate medical education (GME) ultrasound educators face significant challenges, including providing learners with uniform scanning experiences across a spectrum of pathological conditions and delivering didactic education tailored to individual learning styles. The SonoSim ecosystem provides educators with all the necessary tools to overcome these challenges and provides each learner with a personalized ultrasound education pathway toward competency. With our wide array of content, covering the needs of all specialties, residency programs can quickly and easily implement point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) programs and support bedside clinical scanning with self-paced, remote training on learners’ laptops. And for group learning, there’s SonoSim LiveScan® to help you teach the integration of ultrasound into medical decision-making by converting live volunteers or existing manikins into simulated patients with real pathology.
