Why is it important?
New technologies like bedside ultrasound is exciting and is driving change in rapid patient care. However, there are very real challenges in providing adequate ultrasound training in this complex skillset for health professionals. This article is the first to provide a 'birds-eye view' of what is happening in ultrasound education for medical, surgical, nursing and allied health professions in Australasia.
Perspectives
This paper contributes to discussions about need for training in point of care ultrasound (POCUS). Rapid advances in technology advances can have exciting clinical potential but also create pressure on health professions to update training curricula and continuing professional development training.
