Fellowship Structure and Components
An internal medicine point of care ultrasound fellowship typically encompasses several core components essential for developing proficient ultrasound skills. We advocate that IM POCUS fellowships include extensive hands-on training, allowing trainees to perform and interpret a variety of ultrasound examinations relevant to patient care, such as focused cardiac ultrasound, abdominal ultrasounds, and vascular assessments. Didactic instruction is also a critical component, providing fellows with comprehensive knowledge of ultrasound physics, image acquisition techniques, and clinical applications. Furthermore, mentorship from experienced internal medicine faculty members enhances the learning experience, fostering the development of critical diagnostic skills. Fellows are encouraged to participate in research projects to contribute to the evolving body of knowledge in ultrasound medicine. Additionally, multidisciplinary collaboration is emphasized, promoting teamwork among various specialties to improve patient outcomes. Overall, the fellowship aims to equip trainees with the necessary skills and confidence to effectively utilize point of care ultrasound in their future medical practice.
Together, we share our collective consensus on the key elements that shape an Internal Medicine POCUS Fellowship
