Is basic emergency ultrasound training feasible as part of standard undergraduate medical education?
Undergraduate ultrasound tuition is an achievable educational goal which is well received by medical students. Medical schools need to consider the formal introduction of ultrasound teaching in their curricula to equip future doctors with relevant skill sets. The role of handheld ultrasound machines requires further investigation.
