[Targeted ultrasound in the general practitioner's office : The GREC perspective]

This article has been brought to you by clinicians in general internal medicine passionate about ultrasound, using it for many years daily and having long been committed to training in abdominal ultrasound. The term POCUS, Point-Of-Care Ultrasound or targeted ultrasonography, has appeared in recent years, quickly establishing itself as an essential tool in certain specialties, such as emergency medicine. Since 2018, the Swiss Institute for Medical postgraduate and continues Education (ISFM) delegates training and accreditation of POCUS in various specialties to the Swiss Society of Ultrasound in Medicine (SSUM).
