Abstract:
Structured sonography training in internal medicine intensive care and emergency medicine (SIN) comprises two levels and was proposed by three national societies in Germany (DGIIN, DGK and DEGUM). The curriculum consists of a basic level (SIN-I) and an expert level (SIN-II) which are consecutive levels teaching both theoretical and hands-on skills using a symptom-based approach. Competency is assessed using written, oral and practical structured assessments at the end of each level. The goal is to implement national and international recommendations regarding the use of point-of-care ultrasound into clinical practice.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
