Abstract:
A lack of trained faculty is a frequently reported barrier to integrating ultrasound training into medical education. Clinical anatomy faculty are a promising pool from which to recruit and train new ultrasound educators. To date, there are no studies related to best practices for training anatomists in ultrasound skills and preparing them to teach the next generation of health care providers this crucial clinical skill. This report follows the development of a hands-on ultrasound training course for clinical anatomy educators and lists learner needs aggregated by prior experience level and provides best practices for training these professionals in ultrasound skills.

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...
