“…The practice of simulation increases student engagement and may increase retention compared to lecture-based learning alone. 19,20 Through simulation, learners communicate and perform clinical skills in a low-stakes environment. This incentive allows the learner to make the wrong decision, critically reflect on their cognitive process, and readdress the situation without the anxiety of high-stakes reform.…”

The objective of this scoping review is to review current conceptualizations and measurements of active learning education in pharmacy school as it pertains to social determinants of health (SDOH) and to determine the gaps and limitations in available literature. A secondary objective was to assess simulation-based educational methods related to SDOH in pharmacy. Findings. Sixteen articles were eligible for inclusion. Many simulation-based and non-simulation-based teaching strategies are described. The majority of articles included active learning activities related to social/community context and health/health care, the other 3 SDOH domains: education, economic stability, and neighborhood/built community, were not equally addressed. Schools and colleges of pharmacy appear to not be integrating all five components of SDOH into active learning curricula. The sparsity of literature and lack of diversity in published types of simulated experiences and assessments leaves room for innovation in this area. Summary. More research is needed in order to fully characterize conceptualizations of SDOH in pharmacy education in order to ensure students are provided with a full understanding of the SDOH factors that affect patient outcomes.

“…Other options are ultrasound phantoms and simulators which are implemented in several ultrasound teaching programs for medical students, for example, in Riga and Copenhagen. They may help to learn to practice medical ultrasound in a protected learning environment before practicing the technique in a clinical setting [37][38][39][40][41].…”

Background Despite the increasing role of ultrasound, structured ultrasound teaching is only slowly being integrated into the curricula of medical schools and universities all over Europe. Aim To survey the current situation at European universities regarding the integration of ultrasound in student medical education and to report on models of student ultrasound training from selected European universities. Methods A questionnaire survey focusing on the implementation of curricular ultrasound education was sent out to the 28 presidents of the national ultrasound societies of the European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB), who were asked to distribute the questionnaires to the medical universities of their countries. Results Overall, 53 questionnaires were returned from 46 universities in 17 European countries. In most of the universities (40/46 universities, 87%), the theoretical background of ultrasound is taught. However, in only a minority of universities is ultrasound integrated in anatomy courses (8/46 universities, 17%) or basic science courses (16/46 universities, 35%). Practical skills in ultrasound are taught in 56% of the universities (26/46 universities) and tested in a practical exam in seven of the responding universities (15%). The number of hours in which ultrasound was taught ranged from one to 58 (mean, seven). The respondents reported that lack of time and limited faculty funding were major hurdles. Conclusion According to our survey, only a minority of European universities has integrated ultrasound into the preclinical curriculum thus far. Future EFSUMB initiatives will continue to promote the introduction of ultrasound as an integrative part of the core curriculum of student medical education, and the preparation of proper teaching material.

“…POCUS has become a growing topic of anesthesiology research with great focus devoted to evaluating the efficacy of POCUS training. Educational research shows simulation experience to be a positive predictor of success for residents diagnosing cardiopulmonary pathology [12,13]. Following simulation training, learners without previous experience have successfully obtained and interpreted clinical ultrasounds [12].…”

Novel 4W (When-Where-What-What) Approach of Training Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Application in Resuscitation With High-Fidelity Simulator

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a valuable tool in anesthesiology used for evaluating and managing cardiopulmonary pathology. Implications of this modality are extensive. Seamless integration into advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) has potential to improve resuscitation outcomes, and there is growing impetus for its implementation during the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. However, it remains underutilized largely due to limited training. We use high-fidelity simulation and a novel 4W approach (when to apply POCUS, where to place the ultrasound probe, what images mean, what to do next) to incorporate this technique into resuscitation training. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a novel 4W POCUS approach for training anesthesiology residents in the setting of resuscitation.
