Guidelines and Checklist for a Sports Ultrasound Curriculum for Residents

Recommendations for a sports ultrasound curriculum have been previously described for medical students and sports medicine fellows; however, currently, no similar guidelines exist for residents. In this manuscript, we present recommendations for a comprehensive sports ultrasound curricular guide for residents. These guidelines are not intended to be all-inclusive or mandatory requirements but rather a tool for designing individualized resident sports ultrasound curricula. While barriers to the implementation of ultrasound curricula are similar across specialties, the incorporation of ultrasound into graduate medical training varies drastically by specialty. This variety is described, and differences were considered in the development of this curriculum. Establishing the recommended curriculum is anticipated to enhance educational consistency and professional development by aiding motivated residents in self-directed sports ultrasound learning.

Abstract

Recommendations for a sports ultrasound curriculum have been previously described for medical students and sports medicine fellows; however, currently, no similar guidelines exist for residents. In this manuscript, we present recommendations for a comprehensive sports ultrasound curricular guide for residents. These guidelines are not intended to be all-inclusive or mandatory requirements but rather a tool for designing individualized resident sports ultrasound curricula. While barriers to the implementation of ultrasound curricula are similar across specialties, the incorporation of ultrasound into graduate medical training varies drastically by specialty. This variety is described, and differences were considered in the development of this curriculum. Establishing the recommended curriculum is anticipated to enhance educational consistency and professional development by aiding motivated residents in self-directed sports ultrasound learning.
