Development of a blended learning curriculum to improve POCUS education in a pediatric emergency medicine training program
Tóm tắt
We engaged in curriculum enhancement of POCUS training in our pediatric emergency medicine subspecialty training program using Kern’s model of curricular development. We enhanced existing training to include focused asynchronous learning of image interpretation, longitudinal scanning shifts, and quarterly progress report score cards and check-ins for improved communication, transparency and reinforcement of goals. Our approach could inform other training programs looking to improve their POCUS curricula.
