Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

183
Introduction:
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Instructional Design
  • Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS)

Background:

  • Physician assistant (PA) programs often lack standardized point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) education.
  • The four-component instructional design (4C/ID) model offers a framework for complex skill development.
  • This research aimed to integrate POCUS education into PA curricula using the 4C/ID model.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an interactive, two-part POCUS curriculum for PA students.
  • To assess the impact of instructional design on POCUS competency and confidence.

Main Methods:

  • Developed two curriculum models based on the 4C/ID framework.
  • Included pre-curriculum quizzes, online modules, expert-led practice, and skills checkoffs.
  • Utilized a two-tailed paired t-test to analyze training effectiveness.

Main Results:

  • Statistically significant improvements were observed in pre- and post-curriculum quiz scores.
  • Instructional design technology demonstrated effectiveness in enhancing POCUS training.
  • The curriculum positively impacted PA students' understanding and application of ultrasound principles.

Conclusions:

  • The 4C/ID model shows promise for improving POCUS training in PA programs.
  • The interactive curriculum enhanced PA students' competency and confidence in using ultrasound.
  • This approach may be beneficial for standardizing ultrasound education in PA curricula.
