Point-of-Care Ultrasound on Clinical Rotations: Reported Opportunity and Objective Number of Examinations

EM and HIM rotations afforded the most opportunity to convert the reported opportunity to practice POCUS to the objective act of obtaining POCUS images. Most rotations had proportionally similar number of POCUS examinations completed per organ system, however, Cardiology had a disproportionately higher number of cardiac examinations. This rotation and application-specific understanding of PA students' ability to obtain POCUS examinations on rotations should be used by PA programs while developing POCUS curriculum.
