Abstract
With the technological progress of different types of portable Ultrasound machines, there is a growing demand by
all health care providers to perform bedside Ultrasonography, also known as Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS).
This technique is becoming extremely useful as part of the Clinical Skills/Anatomy teaching in the undergraduate
Medical School Curriculum.
Teaching/training health care providers how to use these portable Ultrasound machines can complement their
physical examination findings and help in a more accurate diagnosis, which leads to a faster and better improvement
in patient outcomes. In addition, using portable Ultrasound machines can add more safety measurements to every
therapeutic/diagnostic procedure when it is done under an Ultrasound guide. It is also considered as an extra tool
in teaching Clinical Anatomy to Medical students. Using an Ultrasound is one of the different imaging modalities
that health care providers depend on to reach their diagnosis, while also being the least invasive method.
We thought investing in training the undergraduate Medical students on the basic Ultrasound scanning skills as part
of their first year curriculum will help build up the foundation for their future career
