Ultrasound in Student Education

Abstract

Ultrasound in Student Education Abstract. The subject 'Ultrasound in Medicine', already introduced during the studies increases the motivation of students by its practical character and combines basic medical knowledge (anatomy, physiology) and imaging with clinical applications in a unique way. This is done on the one hand as a point of care method (POCUS) at the point of decision-making, and on the other hand as a 'radiological' method with intervention options. POCUS is the use of ultrasound by physicians to correctly identify problems and implement solutions at the point of action. Both the European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB) and the World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (WFUMB) have published position papers on the targeted application of ultrasound technology (point of care), the status of which is reported here.
