Abstract:

Ultrasound education has been part of the curriculum at A.T. Still University's Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine for over seven years (since 2011), and has been successfully integrated into the first two years of the four-year medical school curriculum. Students master ultrasound techniques through hands-on laboratories covering all body regions and systems. Ultrasound training has the potential to enhance the medical school learning experience for students and improve the quality of their future patient care.
