Improving Obstetric Ultrasound Training in FM Residency Programs
One of the things that has been a common issue is not getting enough training during residency is in obstetric ultrasounds. This limitation go from when to order one, why, which one to order, and what to do with the results.

The problem it’s not only with techniques or equipment is being able to accurately interpret images, as well. Most of the common problems encountered when trying to better train residents in this area has been lack of time, resources, and appropriately trained faculty members, among others.
This curriculum includes a module to:
Methods used for training include online materials, picture library, video demonstrations, and direct observation so that learners will become more competent. Evaluation will include a pre- and post-session tests, and sample cases with multiple choice questions.
