“…16 In fact, one article outlining programmatic training in ultrasound for obstetrics and gynecology residents provided detailed lists of skills but did not delineate who teaches or administers assessments. 17 Most obstetrics and gynecology residencies rely on sonographers to conduct the basic training in practice that occurs. This is an area that has the potential for research in interprofessionalism.…”

The transformation of healthcare relies on interprofessional education (IPE). Reviewing the history of the movement to prevent medical errors through the call for collaborative high functioning team practice, an assessment of the need to recognize the importance of interprofessional collaboration among sonographers, various medical specialties and nursing is addressed. A brief discussion of model programs in IPE is included."We have good evidence that healthcare delivered in teams is more efficient and more effective, yet we continue to educate our health professionals in silos. To meet the public's needs, health professions educators must teach and model collaborative practice and team-based models of care. While some health professions schools are making these changes, it's not happening fast enough or broadly enough.

AIUM accreditation guidelines are fully incorporated in the curriculum and the successful candidates should be able to obtain AIUM laboratory accreditation upon establishing their independent practices after residency.…”

Ultrasound skills-technical and interpretive-are essential to the practice of obstetrics and gynecology. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education provides guidance, though limited, on what an obstetrics and gynecology residency ultrasonography program curriculum should include. A review of several educational institutions' approaches to the ultrasonography curriculum is presented. A detailed discussion of the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Paul L Foster School of Medicine, obstetrics and gynecology residency ultrasonography program curriculum is provided for additional consideration.

“…1 Although ultrasound curriculum for residents in obstetrics and gynecology has been developed and successfully implemented in several programs, 2 the specific ultrasound curriculum in obstetrics and gynecology for medical students is yet to be developed. It should be mentioned that a large amount of the theoretical material and the long list of required competencies are significant challenges for both the residents and program directors.…”

“…1 Analysis of this curriculum reveals several topics that are also important for medical students. These topics include objectives that are typically covered by the anatomy or pathology curriculum, such as the anatomy of female reproductive organs, embryo and fetus, cul-de-sac fluid, and uterine and/or adnexal masses.…”

Advances in technology have made ultrasonography a rapidly evolving concept in the practice of medicine and a valuable component of the competency-based education. American Medical Association (AMA) recently affirms that 'ultrasound imaging is a safe, effective and efficient tool when utilized by, or under the direction of appropriately trained physicians.' AMA also supports the educational efforts and widespread integration of ultrasound throughout the continuum of medical education.Training in ultrasonography is rapidly expanding to numerous residency programs of graduate medical education but discrepancies in ultrasound curriculum and criteria for proficiency exist among programs within the same discipline, despite clearly defined objectives recommended by the governing bodies. There is a trend to integrate ultrasonography into the curriculum of undergraduate medical education. However, funding, availability of ultrasound-trained faculty and student time are barriers to the implementation. Ultrasonography is a natural fit for competency-based training and should be introduced early in medical education. We expect that the LCME will soon mandate the integration of ultrasound into the 4-year curriculum.The imminent question that medical educators ask is not when ultrasound will become a required component of the curriculum but how to effectively integrate the teaching and training of ultrasound into the continuum of medical education.
