Abstract:
Although integrating point-of-care ultrasound into modern clinical practice is essential, teaching it is challenging. This article proposes a structured pedagogical approach that focuses on the principle of "less is more", whereby targeted and relevant information is prioritized for better assimilation. Teaching should be personalized according to the learner's specialty (emergency medicine, internal medicine, etc.) and progress through levels (initial, basic, advanced). A structured and individualized pedagogy is crucial for effectively mastering ultrasound, leading to improved patient care. The final assessment of skills should take place at the patient's bedside.

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...
