First insights of integrating the Bonn Internship Curriculum for Point-of-Care Ultrasound (BI-POCUS): progress and educational aspects

The study aimed to enhance the BI-POCUS curriculum by improving students' ultrasound skills during their practical year. However, device usage was lower than expected, with most students using it only once a month or less. This raises concerns about the justification of the effort and resources. Future initiatives will focus on technical improvements, better login data provision, and closer monitoring of usage and progress, emphasizing the need for practical ultrasound training in medical education.
