Abstract
Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) is an essential component of emergency medicine training that has not taken hold in internal medicine training programs. Internal medicine residents can use POCUS to perform focused examinations and aid complicated procedures. However, while there is widespread interest in learning POCUS, training is not standardized amongst residency curriculums. Therefore, more strides are necessary to correctly implement POCUS training during residency training.
