Point‐of‐Care‐Ultrasound Quality Assurance Data from Fellow‐Performed Exams in a Pediatric Emergency Department
PEM fellows generally interpret exams correctly, with little variation through fellowship, although those who began with more basic skills showed more progress over time. Fellowship year did not influence the likelihood of correct interpretation but there was variation across exam type, with the best agreement for cardiac exams. The extent to which disagreements between fellows and QA faculty represent clinically significant errors requires further study.
