Curso de capacitação em ultrassonografia básica à beira leito no módulo de urgência e emergência do internato médico

Abstract

Objective: Train undergraduate medical students to practice point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in the Urgency and Emergency module of the medical internship. Methods: The study was carried out through the E-FAST Theoretical-Practical Ultrasonography Course applied to students in the eleventh semester of the CESUPA medical course. Results: It was found that most university students demonstrated an improvement in their ability to carry out and grasp knowledge about the subject after applying theoretical and practical classes on an ultrasound device and ultrasound training simulator. Conclusion: The improvement in student performance after the practical activity encourages discussion about the importance of curricular adjustment to adapt to technological advances in the medical field.
