Abstract
With the development of ultrasound technology, the availability of small and non-expensive ultrasound machine offering non-invasive, quick and real-time imaging, and the use of ultrasound in all clinical specialties, there is an increasing trend of providing ultrasound training in undergraduate medical education (UME). In Asia, this type of training is currently little for UME compared to the undergraduate training for radiographers or radiology technologists, or postgraduate training. Besides, there are few studies in this region. In one study, learning ultrasound knowledge can be enhanced by andragogy and mnemonics. In another pilot program, a short ultrasound training course was successfully introduced during the final-year medical degree anesthesia rotation. Hands on ultrasound experience can improve ultrasound knowledge of medical students. To overcome the limitations of curriculum time, ultrasound machines and experienced teaching staff, ultrasound training can be provided through e-learning.
