Integrating Point-of-Care Ultrasonography Into Nephrology Fellowship Training: A Model Curriculum
Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) is a relatively easy-to-learn skill that can be incorporated into day-to-day clinical practice and the trainee curriculum to enhance patient care. POCUS is primarily intended to address focused clinical questions at the bedside and serve as an adjunct to physical examination. More recently, POCUS is being increasingly adopted by health care professionals from various medical specialties. However, most general nephrology training programs have not yet fully embraced the rapidly evolving field of POCUS.
