Abstract
- The use of abdominal ultrasound is becoming a necessity, rather than an option, for pediatricians. Incorporating abdominal ultrasound training into resident training programs for pediatricians provides a direct pathway for physicians to effectively utilize point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in their clinical practice after board certification. This study proposed a detailed system to support this initiative by establishing 22 standard views of pediatric abdominal ultrasound and emphasizing a structured training regimen with repeated practice to achieve proficiency. This approach offers a streamlined method for trainees to become experts rapidly. After board certification, this foundational training serves as the basis for advanced learning, allowing clinicians to tailor POCUS techniques according to their specific areas of practice.
