Abstract
Introduction of an Ultrasound Course Based on Peer-Tutoring - An Update on the Blended Learning Basic Course Sonography Abstract. Following the introduction of the new Swiss learning objectives catalogue 'PROFILES', the ability to carry out simple ultrasound examinations has become mandatory for undergraduates. Thanks to a collaboration between the Bern Institute of Primary Health Care and the 'Young Sonographers' SGUM section, the SGUM's classic-format basic abdomen teaching module has been changed into a 'blended learning' teaching format with 'peer tutoring'. It is particularly intended for students and junior doctors. Since the beginning of 2019, local 'Young Sonographers' subsections have gradually introduced the basic ultrasound course for students at four different Swiss universities. This article describes the implementation of the 'Blended Learning Basic Sonography Course' in Switzerland and the current student peer tutor activity at Swiss universities. We discuss the project's successes and current challenges, the Young Sonographers section, and look into the future of ultrasound training in Switzerland.
