Abstract

As an extension of the clinical examination and as a diagnostic and problem-solving tool, ultrasound has become an established technique for clinicians. A prerequisite for high-quality clinical ultrasound practice is adequate student ultrasound training. In light of the considerable heterogeneity of ultrasound curricula in medical studies worldwide, this review presents basic principles of modern medical student ultrasound education and advocates for the establishment of an ultrasound core curriculum embedded both horizontally and vertically in medical studies.

Zusammenfassung

Als Erweiterung der klinischen Untersuchung, als Diagnose- und Problemlösungsinstrument ist die Sonografie zu einer etablierten Technik für den Arzt geworden. Voraussetzung für eine qualitativ hochwertige klinische Ultraschallpraxis ist die angemessene Ultraschallausbildung der Studierenden. Angesichts der beträchtlichen Heterogenität der Ultraschall-Curricula im Medizinstudium weltweit werden in dieser Übersicht die Grundprinzipien der modernen Ultraschall-Ausbildung von Medizinstudenten vorgestellt und die Einführung eines Ultraschall-Kerncurriculums befürwortet, das sowohl horizontal als auch vertikal in das Medizinstudium eingebettet ist.
